Costa Rica La Alquimia (Anaerobic Honey)

costa rica la alquimia is an anaerobic honey processed coffee roasted by dark woods coffee ltd. the anaerobic stage, where the coffee ferments in a sealed, oxygen-free environment before drying with some fruit mucilage still on the bean, gives it a pronounced winey character alongside lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, with sweeter honeycomb and honey notes in the finish. it rewards brewing methods that highlight clarity and acidity, such as filter or pour-over, where the layered citrus and fermentation character can develop fully. grind fresh and use a controlled, even pour to avoid over-extraction masking the brighter notes.
