Product Description

Grown between 4,000 and 6,000 feet, this is Hacienda La Minita's finest, most carefully prepared coffee. Of 832,000 pounds of green coffee, only 210,000 pounds make it through the classification process to become La MinitaTarrazu- a process that reduces the initial raw material by 70%. La Minita's goal is to produce a perfectly balanced coffee: sweet aroma, full body, great acidity, and a delicately
clean aftertaste with no impurities.

"Insecticides are not used on the farm. Fortunately, the geographic advantages of the farms climate and altitude limits the number of insect pests.

Most importantly, through our careful cultivation and weeding techniques we produce coffee trees which are strong and healthy. The few pests that we have do not significantly affect the trees" "We use the fast growing, broad-leafed “poro” as our shade tree. These trees are planted on a grid of varying density depending on the light requirements and need for temperature control in each individual section"

    I got my order that included a 6lb bag of Costa Rica - La Minita last week. This is quite possibly my new favourite bean. I generally prefer a full bodied my acidic bean, but this one has currently stolen my love. The full round flavour that has hints of Cocoa and wine is just a true joy to have in my mug. At this point I have been trying CITY to DARK-CITY roasts, I do not think the flavours will hold up if taken into the FRENCH or ITALIAN levels. But knowing me I will try it out in the coming days and months. I highly recommend this one for all you coffee lovers out their. (Posted on 8/12/11)
