This Costa Rican coffee from Las Lajas is a single-origin lot processed with the Black Honey method, using the San Isidro variety. The drying process retains most of the fruit mucilage, contributing to a sweet, syrupy cup with notes of ripe berries, tropical fruit, caramelized sugar, and honey, finished with refined acidity.
Founder Tim Coonan, a former chef with experience in prestigious kitchens around the world, started Big Shoulders Coffee in his garage about a decade ago. His culinary background brings a chef's attention to detail to every roast, sourcing beans from farmers he has built relationships with. Together with his wife Patricia, they have built a brand that prioritizes hospitality and creating a welcoming "third place" for the community, a sanctuary separate from home and work.
