Tastes of: Cream, Dark Chocolate, Roasted Hazelnut, Mandarin
Every year we get excited to have Alejo Castro’s coffee on the table for us to pick. As a sixth-generation coffee produce, Alejo’s coffee sets a standard for quality and clarity of flavours that leaves a lasting memory. This year we have two options that focus on the Typica varietal with each being processed differently.
What’s in the bag? This Typica varietal has been fully washed process resulting in a sweet and clean cup carried by gentle acidity. A thoroughly enjoyable filter brew.
Continuing his family legacy that began in the mid-19th century with pioneers Alejo C. Jiménez and Wilhelm Kahle. Today, Alejo manages Finca Volcán Azul, situated on the fertile slopes of the Poás Volcano. Under his stewardship, the farm has embraced innovative processing methods and a commitment to environmental conservation, including the protection of over 1,500 hectares of rainforest.
