Costa Rica Cafe Ceres Micromill Los Encinos
Cafe Ceres micromill was established in 2019 by Stephanny Fernandez Elizondo and her mother, Alexandra, in Santa Maria de Dota in San José province. The pair have worked together over the years to prepare for this endeavour, aiming to achieve healthy and constant growth and to improve their quality each day. Along with quality, Stephanny and her mother’s work prioritizes sustainability in everything they do, and the micromill is currently working toward earning Bandera Azul ecological certification. This lot of catuai coffee underwent Red Honey processing at Cafe Ceres micromill. After harvest, coffee cherries were sorted via floatation to remove any underripe or overripe fruit. The cherries were placed into plastic bags and fermented for 72 hours prior to being pulped. The pulped coffee was then fermented in plastic bags for another 48 hours before being dried. The fermented coffee was dried on raised beds for 14 days while being moved every two hours to ensure uniform drying.

Well this is a classy little number. Clean and balanced, with fruity sweetness and acidity, and just a hint of maltiness, this is an amazing example of why Costa Rican coffees are so highly prized.
About Costa Rica
Originating from seeds given away for free following independence in 1821, coffee is so engrained in Costa Rica’s history that the country owes much of its early infrastructure to wealth generated from export to the UK.

Whilst always enjoying a reputation for good quality, Costa Rica is now focused on traceability, resulting in an increasingly diverse and interesting crop.

Harvested from July to March, Costa Rican coffee is typically very clean and sweet.
