The farm features Bourbon and Costa Rica varieties processed using the washed method. The flavor profile includes orange, milk chocolate, pineapple, caramel, and Mon Cherie notes. The 10-hectare farm has a rich history dating back to 1850 and has won multiple awards including first place in the Cup of Excellence in 2014 and 2015.
