Costa Rica: La Gladiola, Tarrazu

Sourced from the western region of the Tarrazu valley, this single-origin selection is cultivated at elevations ranging between 1,300 and 1,800 meters above sea level. The harvest is collected from a dedicated group of local farmers and brought to the renowned Beneficio del Río Tarrazu mill, managed by Hacienda La Minita. To preserve the distinct regional qualities of the specific lot, the cherries are kept strictly isolated and milled entirely independent of other local coffees using a standard fully washed processing method. The crop consists entirely of the Arabica Caturra and Catuai varieties, which are highly regarded for their physical density and balanced structure. The intensive quality standards maintained throughout the milling process ensure a highly uniform preparation that highlights the inherent environmental traits of these high-altitude growing sites.
