Recommended as: Filter

In the middle of the 19th century, when coffee production was in its early beginnings in America, without knowing it, two pioneers and entrepreneurs, Alejo C. Jiménez in Costa Rica and Wilhelm Kahle in the south of Mexico, shared the same dream: “To produce the best coffee in the world” to satisfy the new demanding European gourmet market.

More than a century has passed and today the fourth and fifth generations of descendants of these visionary farmers still produce coffee within the same ideals of excellency and top quality that inspired their ancestors. They produce one of the best pure coffees of the world with its Brand “F.C.J. Volcan Azul” on the slopes of the Poás Volcano in Costa Rica.

 

Roasters Notes:

Clean tasting, mild cup this one. Not your typical funky/alcoholic naturals but still love just how simple yet deeply sweet the aroma of this coffee is, highlighting what the Gesha varietal flavors are. Laced with floral notes from aroma and in the mouth throughout but it’s the hints of fresh strawberries at the finish that really makes it special. Definitely meant for filter to fully enjoy all the delicate nuances.
