【Note】

Global wise, Costa Rica is a small country producing coffee beans but blessed with idealistic environments, such as soil, altitude, rainfall, temperature. Since the majority of Costa Rican coffee beans are produced by micro- farmers, the total annual production remains small.  However, these micro-famers are taking efforts in developing quality to produce high grade coffee beans, so called specialty coffee, in addition to developing whole process of processing, milling.
Puente Tarrazu mill, Beneficio Ecologico Puente Tarrazu, is one of those micro-mills, which processes original Typica varietal with Pulped natural method, especially called Honey method. 
※ Beneficio Ecologico Puente Tarrazu is a coop mill of 12 small producers/farmers including 2008 COE winning farms and offers Caturra and Typica varietals.

【Impression】

Medium mild body, smooth light texture.  Floral aroma like honeysuckels, papaya like sweetness with bright and sweet acidity, nutty flavor with a tinght of bitterness.  Good for summer morning cup, soothing and refreshing even good for iced coffee.  Recommended black with maple nuts, or something simple and naturally sweetened with maple syrup.
