This coffee is a Milenio variety from the Central Valley of Costa Rica, grown in the foothills of the Poás volcano. It is processed using a natural method at the Las Lajas micro-mill, where cherries are dried on cement patios in a greenhouse to control fermentation. This process results in a vibrant flavor profile with notes of black grape, raspberry, melon, and papaya. The coffee offers a clean cup with a soft floral sweetness reminiscent of sugar cane.
Atmans Coffee was founded in Barcelona in 2016 by Miguel Lamora, a two time Spanish Latte Art Champion and third place finisher at the 2013 World Latte Art Championship. Miguel started his coffee career in 2004 and is considered one of the pioneers of Spain's specialty coffee scene, having served as SCA National Coordinator for Spain from 2016 to 2019. The name comes from the Sanskrit word for soul or essence, and the roastery's philosophy centres on revealing each coffee's unique character. Atmans curates its selection based on a framework of Process, Origin, and Variety, offering a wide and rotating range of specialty coffees from their base in the Les Corts neighbourhood.
