Volcan Azul - Anaerobic H15

From the famous Volcan Azul comes this distinctive lot crafted by Alejo - one of Costa Rica's top producers. With alchemist-like precision, Alejo devotes himself to innovation, continuously experimenting with varieties and processing methods to perfect his art. This naturally processed micro-lot is a thoughtful cross-hybrid of Sarchimor and Ethiopian 531 varieties.

He uses anaerobic tanks with a valve that lets the oxygen out, replaced with CO2. Each recipe has a different fermentation duration, temperature, pH (acidity) and Brix content of the mucilage inside the tank. His coffees have no additives during the fermentation process and develop flavours naturally with the help of autochthonous yeast from the farm. After this, the coffee is dried on the patios for 7 to 16 days.

The resulting brew is clean, luscious and sweet coffee with notes of black cherries, cassis liqueur, and cascara.
