Costa Rica El Cedral
Six years of purchasing this lovely natural process Costa Rica El Cedral and we couldn't be more excited. This coffee is always a favorite of our baristas/ roast crew and hopefully soon to be one of yours too!
Santa Maria de Dota is home to one of Costa Rica’s finest cooperatives, Coopedota. CoopeDota strives to maintain a diversified business model selling roasted coffee for national consumption, operating a coffee shop and hardware store, and providing guided tours of coffee farms.
CoopeDota is recognized as the world's first carbon neutral coffee producer. Their mill is specifically designed for sorting high quality micro-lots, which helps to improve quality, increase earnings from coffee sales, and strengthen producer livelihoods
In the cup we found fruit with cream layered with hints of chocolate and a true-to-origin nuttiness in the finish. Medium to full body with a soft acidity that makes this coffee super easy to drink.
