Heretical opinions
Peter: “A coffee with a turbo intense, somewhat crazy profile. There’s funk, there’s fruit, there’s some natural wine. Everything closed beautifully. It’s as if a tuxedo-clad philharmonic orchestra played a Carl Carlton cover. If we were giving flavor notes, I would write that even bubble gum. Well, but we don’t give. So I don’t write!”
Ola: “A bit like a party with friends during a warm evening!”

FARMA
Coffees from Cafe Rivense are another direct trade among our heretical items. This beautiful farm nestled among the greenest mountains of central Costa Rica. The family business of Mr. and Mrs. Ureña, in which everything runs like a Swiss watch. La Guaca is a high-altitude plantation on a farm where practically only one strain is grown – catuai – perhaps the most popular variety in these coffee regions.
TREATMENT
Here Regulo and his sons went all the way. Before the coffee was reprocessed as black honey (lots of pulp on the beans), it fermented for itself for more than 24 hours in sealed containers. The whole process was, of course, controlled by these professionals, because after all, we want to drink coffee, not kombucha, right? A wild party ensued, but without a hangover in the morning!
