COSTA RICA - HACIENDA LA UNION (NATURAL)
The farm, Hacienda La Union has been in the Castro-Kahle family since the 1840's. Farm owner Alejo uses the best varieties & manages the health of their soil to create well developed coffee with complex flavours. When picked, the coffee cherries are taken to the patio & put on raised beds with all the pulp intact, the coffee is stirred for six hours each day. At 2pm the coffee is covered to keep it warm at night & avoid humidity from the morning mist. The farmers complete this process over 12 to 16 days, depending on the weather.
