The taste of Christmas

"The taste of Christmas" as described by our coffee team, Cordillera de Fuego simply had to be our festive microlot. This special seasonal parcel is sourced from our friends & partners the Cordero Segura family and processed at the Cordillera de Fuego micromill.
Flavour Category
nuts & spice nuts & spice
High quality coffee has wide ranging, naturally occurring taste notes. The dominant flavour profile in this coffee is Nuts & Spice which typically shows the aroma of sweet spices such as cloves, cinnamon and allspice. Flavours of toasted almonds and macadamia. And is often typical of Brazil coffees and the Bourbon variety.
Roast
This coffee is a light roast. Roast level influences the flavour and body of coffee. Darker roasts are fuller bodied, lighter roasts brighter. The beans are light brown in colour (unsurprisingly), it will retain more of the natural flavour of the coffee. This can result in a higher acidity and may often show more fruit and floral notes. This roast style means the quality of the coffee shines through the best.
Quality Score
88.0
Coffee scoring over 80 on Speciality Coffee Association scale is considered High Quality, Speciality Coffee.
Best Brewed As
filter
This coffee is best brewed as a filter (cafetiere, pour over, aeropress, drip, etc.). All our coffees can be brewed using any method, but this is our recommendation for a method which suits the coffee particularly well.
Processing Method
This coffee was processed using anaerobic fermentation. A technique where coffees are fermented without any oxygen and by keeping the coffee cherries enclosed to create further complexity in the flavour profile.

More about this microlot

Back for the third year in a row, Cordillera de Fuego is the highlight of our Christmas microlot calendar. This very special lot creates a sumptuously sweet and spicy cup, and is the perfect complement to any Christmas moment. This anaerobicly processed Costa Rican coffee is filled with the moreish notes of cinnamon bun, warm apple strudle and lashings of double cream, particularly delicious when brewed as a filter but works equally well in milk based drinks.

The Cordillera de Fuego micromill is located in Costa Rica’s West Valley, however they work with producers from all over the country. The mill is owned by Luis Eduardo Campos and José Francisco Fernández whose aim, with over 30 years of experience, is to help their neighbouring farms access speciality coffee markets.

Processed and dried at Cordillera de Fuego, this lot was grown by the Cordero Segura family on their farm in Tarrazu, which sits at an altitude of 1650 m.a.s.l.
