Costa Rica Tarrazu La Minita
Rainforest Alliance Certified
La Minita coffee is renowned to be one of the most refined and focused coffee. This well crafted coffee is produced in very quantities with an unmatched attention to detail. Perched high in the mountains of Tarrazu, the La Minita farm lies along the Candelaria river. Here, coffee is grown under a carefully managed canopy of Poro shade trees which naturally provide essential Nitrogen to the coffee trees and minimize the need for fertilizers.
This prestigious Estate boasts a micro-mill to process its coffee and allows it to control every aspect of the harvest. Their exacting techniques, now bolstered by the partnership with Ito Eno, yields harmonious results. Processed at a staggering 1,900 meters, this microlot can almost too easily be described as heavenly, but there’s more to it’s flavor than proximity to Tarrazu. This single origin’s processing plays a role in its deliciousness.
Every tiny harvest is combed through for quality cherries at optimal maturity, free of blemishes and defects. After pulping and mechanically demucilaging the fruit, the parchment coffee is laid to dry on highly monitored raised beds. La Minita is world renowned to produce coffee of the utmost quality.
Workers at this sustainable estate are well paid and cared for. La Minita has created a family community for its workers and provides them with free housing, utilities, clean water, and preventative medical care. "A cup of La Minita reflects care and sustainability."
