This is a single origin coffee from Costa Rica, specifically from the San Juanillo farm in Naranjo, West Valley at 1600 meters altitude. The coffee is produced by Tomas Gutierrez and Allan Vargas, who purchased the farm in 2007 and are Rainforest Alliance certified. This natural processed coffee is made from the Marsallesa varietal and displays clean, juicy fruit characteristics with dried fruit sweetness including prune and raisin, along with caramel-like sweetness and gentle berry notes.
Bradley and Amelia started Horsham Coffee Roaster in 2012, roasting on a 1kg machine in their garage. The operation has since grown into a purpose built roastery in Burgess Hill, Sussex, where they roast daily on a Loring S35 low emissions roaster. They became the first UK roaster to sign The Pledge at transparency.coffee and maintain direct trade relationships in Rwanda, Kenya, Costa Rica, and Brazil. Most of their coffees score 85 or above on the SCA scale. They also co own Bond Street Coffee in Brighton, listed by The Telegraph among Britain's top 30 coffee shops. BBC Good Food named their subscription the UK's Best Ethical Coffee Subscription.
