About the coffee and the producer:

Juan Ramon Alvarado is a fourth-generation farmer and the current caretaker of Finca Brumas del Zurquí, a 125-year-old farm in Costa Rica’s Heredia canton, just outside San Jose. The farm enjoys a warm climate year-round, averaging 60-70ºF, with a rainy season from May to October. Now a specialty coffee estate focused on regenerative agriculture, Finca Brumas del Zurquí has evolved significantly over the years. Alvarado exclusively uses eco-friendly, "green line" products on his land, adhering to strict ecological standards to benefit the environment naturally and improve the quality and yield of his specialty coffee.

From Max at Jimmy Beans:

"I'd like to say how unexpectedly good a washed process from Costa Rica can turn out. I feel like they often have a reputation for being boring, and while this coffee does have a background of vanilla/spice that portrays it's South/Central American origin, it also has some really lovely florals and fruit to it.
