Coffee Bio
Beneficio San Diego, owned and operated by our sister company Café Capris (Volcafe Costa Rica), is the most advanced mill in the country. Established in 1888 in the heart of the Tarrazú and Tres Ríos regions, it has continually evolved through innovation while fostering strong community relations and sustainable production.
One of its specialities is anaerobic fermentation, which takes place in an oxygen-deprived environment. Sugars in the cherries ferment and produce distinct acids that create exceptional, unique flavours. Because sugar content is key, only the ripest cherries from the highest slopes of Tarrazú are selected.
After fermentation the coffee is moved to sun-drying patios and dried to 11.5% moisture before resting. During this period the exotic notes continue to develop, adding complexity to the profile.
The result: a distinct and recognisable cinnamon flavour!
