This washed Costa Rica coffee comes from the Tarrazu region in San Jose province. It is processed by CoopeTarrazú, a cooperative representing over 3,500 partners committed to community welfare. The varieties are Caturra and Catuai. The coffee features a syrupy body with nuttiness, and flavor notes of almond, gingersnap, and plum. The rich mountain soil creates distinct acidity and complex fruit characteristics.
Methodical Coffee was launched in Greenville, South Carolina, in 2015 by a trio of friends David, Will, and Marco. They managed to blend Will’s background running a mobile coffee cart with Marco’s product design skills to build a brand that looks super elegant but feels totally warm and welcoming. Their roasting style is all about clarity and sweetness; they generally avoid the super-dark stuff in favor of clean, vibrant profiles that are easy to drink every single day. The packaging is famously beautiful, patterned and floral. It feels like the ultimate Southern hospitality take on specialty coffee.
