Finca Casa de Piedra, Costa Rica

Sweet, fruity and complex.

The Coffee

Finca Casa de Piedra is a micro lot we have sourced as a short run filter. No sooner has it started, it will be over.

It has a rich nougat like body, heavy brown sugar sweetness and a quirky / tropical citric acidity. The natural processing adds a nice layer of funk, but is not overpowering to the point of taking over the natural characteristics of the coffee.

The Venecia varietal originated from a natural mutation of a Bourbon population. Pedigree selection (selection of individual plants through successive generations) made by the Instituto del Café de Costa Rica (ICAFE).

We recommend serving this coffee black to appreciate it best, but with a splash of milk it will still be delicious.
