costa rica coffee
by dear deer coffee roasting bar ellerslie · auckland, new zealand
you'll taste red apple before caramel. this is costa rica don claudio natural, a natural costa rica from dear deer coffee roasting bar ellerslie.
this coffee tastes of red apple, caramel, and cocoa. the natural process amplifies its sweetness and gives it a fuller, rounder character.
it comes from costa rica and is processed using the natural method, meaning the coffee cherries are dried whole, allowing the fruit to ferment around the bean and contribute to its sweet, fruit-tinged flavour profile.
this coffee works well across filter methods like pour over or french press, where its red apple and caramel notes can develop clearly. it can also be pulled as espresso, where the cocoa and caramel tend to come forward.
