this honey-processed coffee comes from alejo castro in the west valley region of costa rica, grown with gesha and caturra varietals. honey processing leaves some fruit mucilage on the bean during drying, which pushes sweetness forward, here showing as brown sugar, honey, and honeycomb alongside stone fruit and peach. the brighter side brings lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest for balance. roasted by stillers coffee, it suits filter brewing methods that let the fruit and sweetness read clearly, such as pour over or aeropress. use a medium-fine grind, water around 92-94c, and a moderate pour rate to keep the citrus and stone fruit distinct without losing the honeyed body.
