Coffee Volcan Azul Volcancito
Alejo Castro, a long-standing partner of Terres de Café in Costa Rica, has created Volcancito, a blend of the youngest coffee trees on his farm. The result? A smooth, fruity cup.
Sourcing note
Volcan Azul is more than a hundred years old and is now run by Alejo Castro, the sixth generation of farmers. Alejo, who is in his thirties, is part of the modern coffee movement and has considerably developed his production: plot-based planting, adaptation of prestigious botanical varieties and goldsmith's precision in the many processes carried out on the farm.
Volcan Azul is my favourite farm in Costa Rica, because everything is done to perfection. What's more, the Castro family are very likeable and are driven by a desire to do things right, doing everything possible to preserve their natural heritage. For me, this coffee is the reflection of a state of mind.


Tasting note
A Blend of varieties of the youngest coffee trees on the farm, always with the same care in the process, making it one of the best quality/price ratios in Costa Rica.
The nose : is gourmand, reminiscent of walnut praline and pastry chocolate.
The cup : is silky, balanced between the sweetness of chocolate and pomegranate nut candy and the freshness of fresh clementine juice.
The regressive finish is a final reminder of caramelized orange and walnut notes.
A lovely Costa Rican coffee that reconciles sweetness and fruitiness in the cup.
This coffee is roasted for espresso methods.
