Detailed description
About the product
Costa Rica San Diego is a coffee with a bold and complex flavor profile. The taste of a sweet cinnamon roll takes center stage, complemented by the zest of freshly grated lime with a subtle note of cardamom. Sourced from the Tarrazú region of Costa Rica, the beans are handpicked and processed using the lactic anaerobic method. During fermentation in oxygen-free conditions, lactic acid bacteria transform the natural sugars, resulting in a smooth, creamy texture. Processing takes place at the San Diego Mill – the most modern mill in the country, established in 1888 - where daily cuppings and close collaboration with local producers continually raise quality standards. The aroma is delicate, and despite its pronounced flavor notes, the brew remains naturally sweet and refreshingly balanced.
Dominant notes of sweet cinnamon rolls, fresh lime, and cardamom.
Beans processed using the lactic anaerobic method, giving the coffee its smooth, creamy texture.
