Finca Toño - Costa Rica

'...this is our second year of working with the Aguilera family and we're thrilled to have found such distinctive, delicious coffee'.

This coffee is exceptional. We have only been able to secure a small amount of this lot - a rare varietal, and we're not expecting it to stick around for long.

When we drink this coffee, we're instantly reminded of Bakewell tart and Battenberg cake. It has an addictive sour cherry acidity and a sweet marzipan thing going on. In the few days after roasting, we found it almost unbearably 'fizzy', but give it a bit more rest (two weeks ideally) and everything settles down and becomes much more balanced. Still, there is so much complexity in this lot and every time we brew we're finding something new. 

This is the first of several lots we've secured this year from the Aguilera family. I just know you're going to love it.

Taste and flavour perception are complex and difficult to articulate. We love sharing our tasting notes with you, but please don't rely too heavily on our reports. Your experience is what matters most and it may be different. We've written about that whole issue here.
