Your JUNE Coffee is Costa Rica La Loma
This Cataui honey-processed coffee comes from the Tarrazu region of Costa Rica, grown at 1800-2000m altitude with a plant age average of 16 years. The farmer, Hector Bonilla, had always dreamed of managing a cooperative of his own. His passion for coffee inspired his children, who left their line of work to join his farm in adulthood.
Coffee grows in eight coffee regions throughout Costa Rica. In the central and northern highlands where most specialty coffee is found, coffee grows from 1200-1700 meters. Ninety percent of Costa Rican coffee is grown by 50,000 farmers on less than 5 hectares. Although nearly all Costa Rican coffee is wet milled, the country produces a wide variety of honey processed coffee. Coffee is dried using both patios and mechanical dryers. Costa Rica grows Typica, Caturra, Catuai, Villa Sarchi, Bourbon and Geisha.
