It’s been ages since we had a Costa Rican coffee in the roastery, so this one’s extra exciting for us! This one is a microlot from a group that we’ve been using in our pods for the last year, and has that classic Costa Rican apple acidity and toffee-like sweetness.
The Ugandan underneath is a ‘submerged natural’ process, meaning the cherries are anaerobically fermented under water for 72 hours before being dried on patios as per the regular natural style. This coffee is so sweet, and I swear it tastes so much like Haribo Strawbs if you know what those are?
Together these 2 coffees provide a blend with a really creamy, fruity, complex flavour profile - I got green apple initially, with lots of almond on the aroma. The wild strawberry flavour for me is kind of a floral, less sweet strawberry, and this is followed by a long toffee-like finish.
I know it’s designed for espresso and water-based drinks but it’s amazing with oat milk - I recommend you give it a try!
