Costa Rica - Finca Garcilazo

Please note: All our single origin coffees are roasted to order, what this means is we will roast your single origin order on the next work day and will be shipped out the following work day. If you require it ground ie for plunger, then we would rest the coffee beans for a few days before grinding and shipping.

This is a red honey processed Costa Rican coffee from our friends at John Burton. 

Alice Soto, the dedicated farm owner, is passionate about her coffee production and is determined to preserve the farm's legacy for future generations. However, a significant challenge arises as the new generations are not interested in working on the land. In light of this, the SMS Specialty Coffee project stepped in and offered their expertise in farm management, leading to a remarkable transformation of at least 40 hectares that were in dire need of renovation.

Prior to the SMS intervention the farm experienced its lowest productivity levels, leaving the producer in need of a substantial investment to turn things around. Two years ago, the ambitious objective was set to elevate the traditional farm into a highly productive, top-of- the-line unit. This transformation also entailed adopting new environmental and social principles, making the protection of rivers, trees, and wildlife an integral part of day-to-day responsibilities. 

Here at Little Things Micro-Roastery we air roast coffee to give a cleaner, brighter taste with a smoother finish. We have two roast styles to choose from, an espresso focused roast giving more body to the coffee for your coffee machine and a filter focused roast giving more acidity to the coffee for your softer brew methods such as V60, clever dripper etc.

We would love any feedback to help fine tune our roasting recipe as we roast in small batches.
