This Costa Rica coffee is from Los Santos, produced by Palmichal Micro-Mill / Rodolfo Valverde and grown on Finca Arecas. The lot is Catuai and Caturra varietals, processed as an Anaerobic Natural at 1450 MASL. Tasting notes include raspberry, cherry, red fruit, spiced hot chocolate and praline; the cherries are fermented anaerobically, dried on African beds, rested in parchment, then dry milled and sorted.

A two-person operation out of Orange County, Second Spin takes its name from a now-closed local vinyl shop, hence the record-store language throughout: "Coffee Playlist" for the regular lineup, "Limited 66" for small-batch drops, "Classics" for everyday staples. The founders spent fifteen years as baristas, managers, and roasters before launching their own roastery, with an emphasis on farmer-direct sourcing and experimental processing. Current offerings lean heavily into anaerobic fermentation and thermal shock lots from Colombian producers. The approach is light-roasted, fruit-forward, priced to stay accessible.
