Our coffee flavor profiles may vary as we consistently re-evaluate the quality of our coffees. Please keep in mind that coffee is an agricultural product, and its flavor notes can naturally evolve over time. Also, please remember that taste, especially in the context of such fragile product like coffee, is highly subjective! Our flavor notes reflect our individual interpretations during QC and shall be considered as guidance towards flavor groups rather than rigid and unquestionable coffee’s properties.

Regardless of the region, our honey and natural Costa Ricans tend to roast pretty similarly. We recommend a fairly subtle approach from the beginning and building up the energy progressively through the roast in order to achieve demanded roast time. These coffees usually take the heat very efficiently, so watch out close to the first crack and don’t let your RoR to sky rocket if you want to be in full control.

Please note this is a general, not a specific tip. Each coffee tends to behave a bit (or a lot!) differently and should be approached individually. We highly recommend working with a colorimeter machine. Your local data, depending on your grinder, grind size and the way you prepare coffee surface for measurements, will be the most precise tool for your QC routine aside from cupping.

Caturra has long been a staple of Costa Rican coffee, prized for its clean cup and bright sweetness. But as farming becomes more challenging, many producers are replacing it with newer hybrid varieties that offer higher yields and stronger disease resistance. That’s what makes Diego’s Caturra feel extra special to us. Coffees like this are becoming less common every year, and we’re excited to still share one with you.

Hacienda Sonora

Hacienda Sonora Estate has been in Alberto’s family for more than a Century. In the 1970s when Alberto took over the farm,
he began planting most of the land with coffee, and shortly after it became the main source of income.

In 1999 with historical low coffee prices, Alberto invested in a Mill to be able to maximize his quality, to do so he became a pioneer in very alternative processing techniques such as Honey and Naturals. Also became living proof of how different varietals could create different levels of complexity in the cup.

In 2011, Alberto’s son, Diego, joined the operation as co-manager. Nowadays, Sonora has more than 20 different varieties of plants in 80 hectares of coffee (+ 20 hectares of forest reserve) and is known to be a welcoming place forcoffee lovers.
