This coffee is from the APROCETU association in Costa Rica, featuring the SL28 variety. The SL28 variety was developed in the 1930s by Scott Laboratories from Bourbon selections and Ethiopian landraces. Grown at high altitudes between 1500-2200 meters above sea level, it thrives in cool climates and volcanic soils. The coffee features bright, juicy, and complex acidity, often described as citrusy or berry-like, with notes of lemon, blood orange, blackcurrant, berries, and delicate floral notes, accompanied by a silky body and balanced sweetness.
Atmans Coffee was founded in Barcelona in 2016 by Miguel Lamora, a two time Spanish Latte Art Champion and third place finisher at the 2013 World Latte Art Championship. Miguel started his coffee career in 2004 and is considered one of the pioneers of Spain's specialty coffee scene, having served as SCA National Coordinator for Spain from 2016 to 2019. The name comes from the Sanskrit word for soul or essence, and the roastery's philosophy centres on revealing each coffee's unique character. Atmans curates its selection based on a framework of Process, Origin, and Variety, offering a wide and rotating range of specialty coffees from their base in the Les Corts neighbourhood.
