Alejo Castro - Volcan Azul Estate - Cardamono SL28 Washed - Légendes
An exceptional harvest this year at Volcan Azul! And, in our view, the SL 28s are the finest examples of this vintage. Volcan Azul perfectly showcases their key attributes: power, fruitiness and purity. Add to that a rich, velvety mouthfeel, and we have a truly outstanding coffee here.

Sourcing note
Situated on the fertile slopes of the still-active Volcan Poas, Volcan Azul is first and foremost a conservation area, with barely a quarter of its 300 hectares planted to vines. The rest is a nature reserve consisting mainly of forest and streams, sanctuaries for numerous wild animals. This predominance of nature generates a micro-climate conducive to perfect fruit ripening and ideal conditions for fermentation and drying. With its state-of-the-art infrastructure, highly qualified permanent staff and optimal agronomic management, it's no wonder that Volcan Azul coffees regularly feature in the Cup Of Excellence awards. This SL28 enabled us to win the Brewers Cup with Pierre de Chanterac and the Barista Cup with Marie Picoche, in 2020.
