Costa Rica Fina Genesis

Price: $24.00

Oscar and Olga Mendez at Finca Genesis have constructed their own micro mill and are processing their own lots. This is a "Honey" coffee or "Miel," a pulp natural where the coffee fruit is skinned (depulped), and the fruity mucilage is allowed to dry in contact the with the parchment shell that surrounds the green bean. The difference in this long contact, and the different drying dynamic, means a cup with greater body and milder acidity.

So amazingly sweet, potent and somewhat exotic compared to the standard Costa Rica wet-process flavor profile. The cup is vividly bright, with strong honey-lemonade flavors, red berry, toasted nut and praline. The flavors are slightly more rustic, and the opaque body more pronounced, and there's a distinct "roundness" to the mouthfeel.
