Costa Rica: La Minita Estate, Tarrazu

La Minita helped set Costa Rica’s modern quality bar—rigorous picking, immaculate washed milling, and lot separation that became the Tarrazú gold standard. On steep volcanic slopes, cool nights and dry harvest winds slow ripening and protect delicate aromatics. Kept at a measured medium, this lot opens with milk chocolate and cane‑caramel over a clean cocoa frame. A fine line of orange zest and gentle stone fruit brings lift without sharpness. The mouthfeel lands satin‑smooth and cohesive; acidity reads medium and tidy. Expect a precise, cocoa‑perfumed finish that showcases why La Minita remains a benchmark for clean, sweet Central American coffee.
