Producer & origin

Typica, volcano and protected forest

Alejo Kahle Castro produces this Typica at Volcán Azul on the slopes of Poás volcano in Costa Rica’s West Valley. The farm combines specialty-coffee production with the protection and restoration of tropical forest.

Shade, volcanic soils and defined seasons support slow cherry development. This Typica translates that environment into floral aromatics, pear, red apple and orange, with low acidity, a full syrupy body and a long, sweet finish.

The process

Natural processing for floral fruit and body

Ripe cherries are picked and dried whole on patios or raised beds. During drying, the fruit and mucilage contribute sugars and fruit character to the seed.

Careful moisture management preserves clarity while developing the richer sweetness and heavier body associated with a well-executed natural coffee.
