Costa Rica Tarrazu - 2lb Bag

Santa Elena plantation covers 750 acres in the Tarrazu region. Located on volcanic soil with ideal pH. Shade grown under Poro, Eucalyptus and Cypress tress insures a slow growth producing complex flavors. Processed in their own mill first built in 1953 in unique wooden bottomed fermentation tanks.

The dry fragrance shows spiced fruit and with dark-sugar sweetness. The wet aroma smells fruit-forward, berry jams and fruited syrups, a resonant maple-sugar sweetness on the break. Fruited tones are also very tea-like, and the finish is clear and extremely smooth. Loaded with grape and dark berry notes, accents of candied citrus peel and roast complexity, and lasting, fruited-cocoa finish. A show stopper Costa Rica in the light to middle roast range.
