#5 Costa Rica
Honey processed SL 28
Volcan Azul
Sweet and intense. Black honey, dark milkchocolate, caramel and a hint of raspberry notes.
This coffee comes from a limited selection of exclusive micro-batches with unique exotic flavor.
And its without any doubt one of the best coffees I have tasted so far. It was also the coffee which I used for World brewers cup championship in Brazil, 2018.
The aroma is sweet and intense. Reminds me of black honey, dark milk chocolate, caramel and a hint of raspberry notes. its very clean and vibrant...and changes when the temperature drops below 50c.
SL28 variety was developed in 1930-40 at Scott Laboratories. It is widely spread all over Kenya and Uganda. It was selected in 1935 from a single tree in a population called Tanganyika which was drought resistant. Now called Tanzania.
Today SL28 is also widely used in Latin America and known for its complex, sweet and citrus flavor.
