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.

Marvin is constantly experimenting on his farm, always searching for new ways to bring out the best in each variety. After years of trials, he found that Sarchimor and Milenio respond especially well to his customized black honey process.

After dry depulping, the coffee is spread in a thick layer on raised beds and left untouched for three days. During that time, fermentation builds intensity and forms a crust over the coffee that Marvin says smells just like apple pie. Once the crust is broken, the coffee begins a slow 12 to 14 day drying process with constant movement to ensure even drying and a beautifully balanced cup.

We met Marvin Barrantes during our recent trip through Costa Rica, and seeing what he has built on such a small farm was genuinely inspiring. His operation covers only eight hectares, yet every detail reflects care, precision, and complete dedication to coffee. Marvin lives and breathes coffee. Every conversation, every part of the farm, and every processing decision shows how deeply invested he is in his craft.
