Coffee Description
The legendary Geisha varietal coupled with anaerobic processing makes for a fruit-forward coffee with superb refinement.
The Process:
The process for the lot started when cherries were still hanging on the branches of the coffee trees. By constantly measuring the Brix sugar content level, Alejo and his team identify the ideal harvest moment. Once that moment is reached, picking happens and cherries are brought to the wet mill where unripe floaters are removed. In the fermentation tanks Brix, PH, and temperature are constantly measured to fully control the anaerobic fermentation process.
This season, the coffee stayed for about 7 days in the sealed tanks at an average temperature of 15 degrees Celsius.

About Alejo Castro Kahle of Costa Rica
Volcan Azul is a farm with over 100 years of coffee producing history that you will find all wrapped up in this exotically profiled coffee.
The Farm:
The West Valley is the most prominent coffee growing region in Costa Rica. Most of its coffees are grown under protective shade, and produced on fertile clay. The mountainous landscape is dominated by three volcanoes and a gentle tectonic depression, while the Pacific weather patterns create well-defined dry and wet seasons. Volcan Azul is located on the edges of the Poás Volcano. For 5 generations, the producers have continued making coffee with superior quality. The descendants of the founders families are now acquiring natural tropical forest to help reducing global warming.

We had to go across the pond to find a Locaf Aramosa varietal and in so doing, we came across an incredible Costa Rican Anaerobic Geisha!
