the costa rica hacienda sonora is a naturally processed single-origin coffee from costa rica, roasted by ignite coffee company. natural processing means the coffee cherries are dried whole, which draws fruit sugars into the bean and produces a sweeter, fruit-forward cup. expect bright citrus throughout, with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest sitting alongside tropical fruit. because natural coffees carry more body and sweetness, they tend to shine in brew methods that highlight those qualities, such as pour-over or french press. dial in a medium grind and water around 93-96°c to keep the citrus clarity without over-extracting.
