This microlot coffee is grown at Finca Las Mercedes in the Tarrazú region of Costa Rica at an altitude of 1,800 meters. The Obata variety is a cross between Timor Hybrid and Villa Sarchi, grown under shade trees in a regenerative system. This coffee is processed using the natural method, with whole cherries sun-dried on African raised beds. The flavor profile is bright and tropical, featuring notes of key lime, ripe papaya, and sweet tangerine. It is a light roast coffee with a large bean size.
Volcanica Coffee began in 2004 when Costa Rican-born Maurice Contreras started importing richly flavored beans from volcanic regions right out of his garage. What began as a side passion soon grew into a family-run specialty roaster, roasting on demand in Atlanta and sending each batch out within a day. Their approach is simple, unyielding: showcase terroir-driven, exotic single-origin beans from volcanic soils, roast them with care, and ship only when they’re at their freshest.
