Danilo Salazar has been growing coffee in Costa Rica for more than fifty years. He farms bananas, plantains, and peaches in addition to coffee. Danilo is also a member of Cafe de Altura de San Ramon, an organization that provides over 500 farmers with the information and resources they need to market their coffees at premium prices. Because Costa Rican coffee isn't fully washed, there's a little more fruit in the cup, especially in this one. The reason behind this is that in Costa Rica, freshwater is conserved, and the government prevents farmers from fully washing their coffee to preserve water.
Normally, coffee is fermented in big tanks to remove the mucilage, however in Costa Rica, they use a "demuciladora", a machine which removes both the pulp and the mucilage at the same time.
This is a whole bean coffee that has been semi-washed. You can also order ground coffee for drip brewing.
