Hermosa - Costa Rica

hermosa is a honey-processed costa rican coffee roasted by volcano coffee works. honey processing, where some fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying, gives it a natural sweetness that shows up clearly here, stone fruit and peach upfront, with honey and honeycomb in the middle, and milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and almond rounding it out. it suits filter brewing well, where the fruit and sweetness come through cleanly, though it will also work as an espresso if you want a sweeter, fruitier shot. grind fresh and use water around 93c to avoid flattening the softer fruit notes.
