Context
This coffee comes from our Costa Rican supplier Dylan Aguilera's farm, Finca Matilde.
The Aguilera family has grown coffee at this farm in the country's west valley for more than 60 years. The family business is now led by Dylan and his brothers - Hermanos Aguilera - and produces high-grade specialty coffee.
This particular coffee is a newly-developed hybrid unique to Costa Rica, known as Victoria 04. For this lot, Dylan has used an experimental yeast fermentation process that uses select yeast strains to break down the cell structure of the bean during fermentation, giving more control over the fermentation process and enhance the coffee's fruity, syrupy profile.
Once harvested, the coffee cherries are sorted to remove defective or unripe fruit before being transferred to sealed fermentation tanks where yeast is added and the process closely monitored.
Once fermented, the beans are washed and pulped, then mechanically dried until they reach the ideal moisture content.
