COSTA RICA Tierra Mujer

This Specialty coffee from the Coope Tarrazù Cooperative, renowned for its excellent coffees, is the fruit of the labour of the women of Cafè Mujer, a group of 74 women whose aim is to promote women's rights, gender equality and social equality. At the cooperative, they receive fair and equitable treatment to support their families.
It is a coffee of excellence with strict control over the entire supply chain, produced sustainably, using traditional methods and with the utmost care so that each bean retains the characteristics that make it unique.
 

Respect for the environment and good practices that promote the health of communities and natural resources is paramount: 100% of the pulp waste from the drupes is composted, transformed into organic fertiliser and returned to the producers; the waste water from the honey process, which has a high organic content, is used to irrigate the fields.

 

This very special coffee is processed using the Honey method: a meticulous process.

The ripe cherries are placed in large tanks of water as soon as they are harvested, and then only the best ones are pulped, usually almost completely, but in the case of this very special coffee, only 50%. They then move on to the crucial stage of this method, drying, which must be neither too slow nor too fast, to give the aromas time to be absorbed by the beans without compromising them; in the case of this Speciality, 8-10 days.

It is a surprisingly balanced and silky coffee, with sweet hints of caramel introducing fruity notes: raspberries, blackberries and cherries. The citric acidity is medium and pleasant.
