Coffee Volcan Azul Caturra
Gold medal at the Épicures trophies for Fine Grocery 2018. In Costa Rica, the Volcan Azul farm is an institution and its producer, Alejo Castro, a master at combining variety and process. Here, a full-bodied, smooth Caturra.
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 used on the farm.
Tasting notes
On the nose: notes of sweet spices, stone fruit and chocolate.
On the palate: a silky, enveloping texture. The cup oscillates between milk chocolate and stone fruit, underpinned by the slight exotic acidity that is the signature of this iconic Volcan Azul coffee.
This coffee is roasted for espresso methods and slow coffee methods.
