costa rica coffee
by unincorporated coffee roasters · los angeles, usa
you'll taste lemon before honey. this is alberto & diego guardia - hacienda sonora - central valley, costa rica, a honey costa rica from unincorporated coffee roasters.
it tastes of lemon, honey, and honeycomb, offering a balance of citric brightness and sweetness. the honey process reinforces the sweet, syrupy qualities in the cup.
it is grown at hacienda sonora in the central valley of costa rica by alberto and diego guardia, and processed using the honey method, where some mucilage is retained on the bean during drying.
a filter method such as pour over or drip works well, allowing the lemon acidity and honeycomb sweetness to come through cleanly. keep water temperature around 90 to 93 degrees celsius to avoid flattening the brighter notes.
