From DAK

A jammy / boozy, creamy Costa Rican from Solis & Cordero. This honey villa sarchi has tasting notes of berry marmalade, cream & brown sugar making the perfect sweet and fun espresso.

This coffee was cultivated at Finca Santa Maria by Iván Gerardo Solís R. Villa Sarchi trees grow in optimal conditions at 1,650 meters above sea level in the Santos region of Costa Rica. Solis&Cordero Micromill was founded in 2018 by the Solís Cordero family to help support smallholders in the Santos region. The mill provides a variety of services including cherry processing, selling specialty coffee to international destinations, selling roasted coffee in Costa Rica, consulting on processing and quality control, and export services. For smallholders working with Solis&Cordero, the mill helps them differentiate their coffee by maintaining farm-level traceability and by using innovative, quality-focused processing methods to further improve coffee. Iván and his family selectively handpick ripe, red cherry and deliver it to Solis&Cordero Micromill. At intake, cherry is inspected and washed in clean water. Then, cherry is fermented in fermentation tanks for 48 hours. Following fermentation, cherry is laid on raised beds where it dries for 48 hours. Once cherry has dried for 48 hours, it’s pulped and then parchment and remaining mucilage is laid on the raised beds again to finish drying. Coffee is raked frequently to ensure even drying.  It takes approximately 14 days for coffee to dry.
