This coffee is from Don Cayito in Tarrazú, Costa Rica, grown at 1,850 meters altitude. Despite the product name mentioning White Honey, the description indicates Red Honey processing, which preserves natural sweetness while maintaining structure. The variety is Typica Mejorado. The slower cherry maturation at high altitude supports clarity and composure in the cup, with flavor notes of Strawberry and Blackberry that feel layered rather than dense. This is a Farmlevel Reserve coffee that emphasizes delicacy and polish, showing a lighter, more precise expression of Costa Rica.
