Costa Rica - Cerro San Luis - Single Origin Coffee of the Month (non subscription)
Rich flavours cut through a smooth acidity.
Costa Rica - Cerro San Luis is our exciting new single origin for the entire month of February. This coffee has rich flavours cutting through a smooth acidity, with tasting notes of condensed fruit, dark chocolate, mixed berries and cherry plum.
Country: Costa Rica
Region: San Luis De Grecia, Alajuela
Producer: Magali and Alexander Delgado
Varietal: SL28
Altitude: 1,500 - 1,700 MASL
Process: Honey
Tasting Notes: Condensed fruit, dark chocolate, mixed berries and cherry plum.
Located in the picturesque region of San Luis de Grecia, Alajuela, nestled within the Cordillera Volcanica Central of Costa Rica’s Central Valley, Cerro San Luis stands as a testament to the Delgado family’s dedication to cultivating exceptional coffee.
The legacy of Cerro San Luis traces back through three generations of the Delgado family, with siblings Magali and Alexander Delgado carrying forward the traditions instilled by their predecessors.
The 45-hectare farm benefits from the region’s volcanic soil and temperate climate, with temperatures averaging between 16 to 28°C. The farm has a remarkable selection of coffee varieties, in this case, it is the renowned SL28, coupled with meticulous honey processing that amplifies the character, depth and complexity of this beautiful lot.
Harvesting begins in the morning, with cherries promptly depulped upon arrival at the wet mill in the afternoon. The farm employs 100% sun-drying on African beds, both outdoors and in greenhouses, ensuring a slow, stress-minimised drying process. This honey lot is dried without washing to retain the sticky mucilage. Daily turning and moisture checks ensure quality, with drying times ranging from 12-16 days until the coffee reaches 10-10.5% moisture. Stored in a wood-covered cement warehouse, coffee is packed in double plastic bags for optimal preservation.
Cerro San Luis has garnered recognition for its commitment to quality, with coffees from the farm ranking among the top 20 in Cup of Excellence competitions in previous years. Varied coffee varieties have been instrumental in this endeavour. Innovations such as the implementation of Brix analysis at Cerro San Luis have been pivotal in enhancing farm and coffee quality.
