This coffee is a Geisha variety grown at the Volcan Azul farm in the Poás Volcano region of Costa Rica's West Valley. Cultivated at an altitude of 1650–1700 meters, this lot was processed using an anaerobic natural method. The coffee is produced by Alejo Castro Kahle, representing the fifth generation of a family that has been farming on the slopes of the Poás Volcano for over a century. The farm is noted for its commitment to quality standards and ecological conservation initiatives.
Founded in 2020 by Tong Zhang in Chengdu, this micro-specialty roastery emerged from an unexpected journey—a robotics engineer's transformation into coffee artisan after discovering specialty coffee in Paris. Zhang, who placed third in the French Brewers Cup in his first year as a barista, brings technical precision to every roast, using Stronghold S7Pro machines to highlight the unique terroir of each coffee through light profiles that express origin, climate, soil, and the people behind each bean.
