Product Description:
From the renowned Volcan Azul farm in Costa Rica’s West Valley, this natural process Caturra offers a beautifully layered and sweet cup, with notes of Rainier cherry, apricot, strawberry jam, hazelnut cream, and malted chocolate.

Led by fifth-generation producer Alejo Castro, Volcan Azul is celebrated for its precision farming, sustainable practices, and innovative processing techniques. This lot was patio-dried for 6 days, then finished in a mechanical dryer to preserve complexity while achieving optimal moisture stability.

The Caturra variety, long a Central American staple, has been a cornerstone at Volcan Azul for over 50 years. With Alejo’s dedication to soil health and eco-conscious farming, this coffee represents a perfect harmony between tradition, terroir, and modern craftsmanship.
