by dear deer coffee roasting bar onehunga · 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 onehunga.
it has tasting notes of red apple, caramel, and cocoa, giving it a fruit-forward sweetness with a chocolatey finish. the natural process intensifies those sweeter, fruitier qualities compared to a washed coffee from the same origin.
this coffee is grown in costa rica and processed using the natural method, meaning the coffee cherry is dried whole before the fruit is removed. that extended contact between the bean and the fruit skin contributes to its sweeter, fruitier cup character.
filter or pour-over brewing will highlight the red apple and caramel notes, while espresso will lean into the caramel and cocoa. the natural process gives it enough body and sweetness to work well across both approaches.
