NOVEMBER savings to be THANKFUL for:
Colombia Don Enrique, Guatemala HHT, Ethiopia Kembata, Ethiopia Sidamo GR 2 !
The plantation Hacienda Rio Negro (located along Panama’s border) started hosting the Costa Rican coffee-growing region “Coto Brus” (named after the indigenous Bunca tribes “Coctus and Brusi”) in 1949. Hacienda Rio Negro is comprised of 703 acres of coffee production land and 815 acres of natural forest reserve. Reforestation and infrastructure occupy another 195 acres. Luis Wachong Lee managed the farm until 1991 when he sold it to the Volcafe Group, who controlled the farm until the Minita Corp took over in 2006. In 2001, Hacienda Rio Negro became the first farm in Costa Rica to become Rainforest Alliance Certified, representing over 10% in all the world. To align with La Minita’s quality standards, the farmland was rebuilt from the ground up, and today, not one bean variety––be it Caturra, Catuai, Catimor, or Hibrido––is exported without quality testing and approval.
Cupping Notes: Medium to full body, good acidity, and well-balanced.

I have ordered this bean several times. The flavor is excellent and the smell is very pleasant.

Love this bean! It's very smooth with a slight chocolate after taste. Light/medium roast.

Medium to medium-dark roast was an excellent finish. Separate roasts, one just before the second crack and one after the second crack.

I like it. Still a "greeny" when it comes to roasting; learning with each roasting experience. Have enjoyed ALL your beans.

I did not roast my first batch long enough. I think it needs more than first crack what ch I did. Will go longer with next batch. Felt it lacked some deeper flavor. Just my roasting was not looking ng enough. Will go back again with review when that done.

This was so very disappointing. Flat is what would say about this. No wonder it was sold atthe price it was, not even worth that. HAd to use more coffe than normal just to get any decent flavor. Don't wate you money on this
