laurina is a naturally low-caffeine arabica variety, grown at finca carrizal under the las lajas label in costa rica. this lot is processed naturally, meaning the whole cherry is dried before milling, which tends to develop fruit-forward, fuller-bodied characteristics. sk coffee roasts and sources this as part of their rarities range, signalling it is a limited, single-origin offering. because it is a natural-process costa rican laurina, filter brewing methods will highlight its sweetness and varietal clarity. grind fresh and use a gentle, even pour to avoid masking its more delicate, low-caffeine character.
