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

H1, also known as “Centroamericano,” is an F1 hybrid created by crossing the Sarchimor variety with a Sudan Rume variety.

This variety is characterized by its high resistance to coffee leaf rust and high yield, making it attractive to coffee growers. Coffee from H1 is valued for its high quality and fruity flavor profile. With good adaptation to different climatic and soil conditions, H1 is versatile and can be grown in various regions. For these reasons, H1 is gaining popularity among coffee growers and finding its place in the specialty coffee market.

Processing

Process

In the natural processing method, only fully ripe cherries are hand-picked based on their sweetness levels measured by Brix. These cherries undergo a preliminary cleaning and sorting process using flotation. The ones that float are separated, while the rest are placed in tanks without removing their skins. They ferment for 24 hours and are then spread out on drying patios.

Every day for 12 to 15 days, from 8 am to 2 pm, the cherries are stirred to ensure they dry evenly. Depending on the weather, they may be piled thicker or spread out thinner. At 2 pm, the coffee is covered with plastic to control temperature and humidity.

As a result of this traditional natural process, this batch of H1 coffee develops a deep, rich sweetness with hints of tropical fruit flavors.

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.
