S/O = single-origin is sourced from one specific farm or region, showcasing higher quality and the distinct natural flavors that reflect the soil, climate, and care behind its cultivation.
This Costa Rican S/O coffee comes from Hacienda Sonora in the Central Valley region of Alajuela, a family-run estate with generations of coffee heritage. Dry-processed (natural), the whole cherries are laid out to dry on raised beds, allowing fruit sugars and character to develop slowly on the bean. The result is a vibrant, fruit-forward cup with complex, wine-like intensity balanced against rustic sweetness and rich body.
