Region and Farm Introduction: Located in the renowned Tarrazú region of Costa Rica, Mirazu benefits from high elevations, volcanic soils, and a cool mountain climate that provide ideal conditions for producing exceptional specialty coffee. The region is celebrated for its bright acidity, refined sweetness, and remarkable clarity, making it one of Costa Rica's most respected coffee-growing origins.
Mirazu represents a new generation of specialty coffee producers committed to innovative processing and meticulous quality control. By combining carefully selected Catajo and Gesha varieties, the producer creates expressive micro lots that showcase both Costa Rica's unique terroir and modern processing expertise.
Processing Method Features: This lot undergoes an Anaerobic Washed process, where ripe cherries are fermented in a sealed, oxygen-limited environment before depulping, washing, and slow drying. This controlled fermentation enhances aromatic intensity and sweetness while preserving the clean, transparent cup profile characteristic of washed coffees.
The cup opens with a refreshing mint aroma, followed by vibrant yuzu, lime, and sparkling lemonade citrus notes. Crisp green apple adds juicy sweetness and lively acidity, resulting in a clean, refreshing, and exceptionally expressive cup with remarkable balance.
