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 promotes slow cherry maturation and exceptional flavor development. These ideal growing conditions contribute to coffees with vibrant acidity, refined sweetness, and remarkable balance.
Mirazu represents a new generation of Costa Rican specialty coffee producers dedicated to quality-driven cultivation and innovative processing. Through careful cherry selection and meticulous post-harvest practices, the producer consistently crafts expressive micro lots that showcase the unique character of Costa Rican coffee.
Processing Method Features: Processed using the Black Honey method, a large portion of the fruit mucilage is intentionally retained after depulping before the coffee is slowly dried on raised beds. The extended drying period allows natural sugars to gradually develop, enhancing sweetness, body, and fruit complexity while maintaining excellent cup clarity.
The cup opens with vibrant roselle florals and juicy guava, followed by the bright sweetness of golden kiwi. A smooth chocolate finish adds depth and balance, creating a rich, layered, and elegant profile that is characteristic of Costa Rica's finest Black Honey coffees.
