This boozy juice-bomb is produced by Alejo Khale Castro and grown in highly fertile volcanic soil on the slopes of the Barva and Poás Volcanoes. Alejo manages Volcán Azul and produces a wide variety of exceptional specialty coffees. For this ‘Warm Anaerobic’ process, fermentation tanks are exposed to direct sunlight, increasing the temperature and, in turn, the rate of fermentation inside the tanks. Fermentation typically lasts for five days before the coffee is removed to dry on patios for up to 16 days. In the evenings, the coffee is covered to retain warmth and reduce humidity from the frequent early morning mist.
All of Our Coffee Bags are now Home Compostable!!
Please remove sticker valve before composting - Help us close the loop, for a sustainable future.
We've decided to evolve the way we send out coffee. Rather than limiting you to what we have already roasted in stock, we're allowing you to preorder whatever coffee you like in whatever size bag and we'll roast it just for you and send it fresh. So here's how to get the best of our 'SEND IT FRESH' program.
PREORDER SINGLE ORIGINS by MONDAY EVENING* - Anytime.
WE ROAST: Tuesday/Wednesday.
WE SEND IT: TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY (as soon as it's roasted)
*If you order Tuesday - Thursday: We'll send it if it's fresh and in stock. (On season Blend & Roaster Choice usually always available, please enter your mobile in checkout so we can get quicker responses from you if needed.)
*FRIDAY/MONDAY: We don't dispatch these days unless specially requested. We think it's better for you to have reasonably fresh coffee when it arrives, these days are too far from our roast days, and couriers move slower. So If you order Friday - Monday: Your order will be put on the list for roasting on Tuesday/Wednesday.
