This Caturra from the Rivense region of Costa Rica is processed using the honey method, where some of the coffee cherry's mucilage is retained during drying. That sticky layer adds natural sweetness to the cup, bringing forward honey and tropical fruit flavors alongside bright acidity. The medium roast preserves the clarity and balance typical of Costa Rican coffees.

Founded by James Freeman in the early 2000s in Oakland's Temescal District, Blue Bottle began when the former clarinetist started roasting coffee in a 186-square-foot converted potting shed, gradually building a cult following for his meticulously crafted single-origin coffees. In 2017, Nestlé acquired a 68% majority stake in the company in a deal valuing Blue Bottle at over $700 million, though the brand maintains its focus on quality and craft coffee culture.
