COSTA RICA - CERRO SAN LUIS (WHITE HONEY)
West Valley is a prolific coffee growing region and is known for producing a large percentage of ‘Cup of Excellence’ winning coffees. Host to diverse microclimates, the mountainous region provides farms at high elevation with cooler weather than the rest of the country, resulting in high sugar production within the cherries. Cerro San Luis is a family run micromill in Grecia, West Valley and produces a number of coffee varietals including Red & Orange Bourbon and SL-28. The micromill, located at the family home only a few miles from the farm, utilises a variety of different processes from washed and honeys to naturals.
