The origin of this coffee

Producer

The West Valley stands out as Costa Rica’s premier region for cultivating coffee. Here, lush coffee plants thrive under protective shade on rich clay soil, ensuring exceptional quality.

This picturesque region boasts a dramatic landscape defined by three majestic volcanoes and gentle tectonic features. Pacific weather patterns create ideal conditions with distinct dry and rainy seasons, perfect for nurturing exquisite coffee crops.

Nestled near Poás Volcano, Volcan Azul embodies a legacy of five generations dedicated to crafting coffee of unparalleled excellence and superior quality.

Inspired by their heritage, descendants of the founding families are actively acquiring natural tropical forests. This initiative not only safeguards the environment but also combats air pollution and addresses global warming. It’s their commitment to forging a sustainable future for generations to come.

Variety

Also referred to as Coffea arabica ‘Marsellesa’. This lesser-known but intriguing coffee variety offers distinctive characteristics that captivate coffee enthusiasts.

Marsellesa plants are typically medium-sized with dark green, glossy leaves and delicate white flowers tinged with hints of pink or purple. Cultivated primarily for its flavorful beans, Marsellesa coffee is prized for its mild taste profile with subtle fruity undertones. Often grown on a small scale by local producers or as part of botanical collections, Marsellesa presents an opportunity for flavorful experimentation in the coffee industry. While not as widely recognized as other coffee varieties, its unique qualities make it a compelling choice for those seeking new taste experiences. Explore the diversity of Arabica coffee with Marsellesa and delve into a world of nuanced flavors and aromatic possibilities.

Processing

Process

This coffee is processed using the natural method. The ripe coffee cherries are harvested by hand and sorted (sorted) to get rid of any impurities and defects.

The cleaned fruits are then dried in the sun on so-called ‘African beds’, which are elevated structures. The fruit is placed in even layers and mixed every 30 minutes for even drying. This is done by women who are traditionally involved in coffee cultivation in Africa. Drying takes 15 to 18 days until the target moisture level is reached. Thanks to the traditional, natural process, the character of this coffee has been geared more towards bringing out the natural sweetness, balanced by subtle acidity, ripe stone fruits flavors and delicate tea notes.

Brewing method for this coffe

Pour over

This is a method for those who like to celebrate the brewing process of coffee. You use a special kettle with a long spout and a paper filter. First, you pour a little water over the coffee so that it let off the gas – this is called blooming. Then, slowly pouring in the rest of the water, you let the coffee drip straight into the cup. It’s kind of a drip method for coffee. It gives you complete control over the flavour – from light and floral to strong and pronounced.
