Don Eli Temática Honey Reposado

Highlights

“This coffee comes from the Chamaco Lot, a unique section of Carlos Montero's Tematica farm in Tarrazu, Costa Rica. Unlike most coffee land in the area, this lot was never cleared, so coffee grows among native forest that's been untouched since the 1970s, including Typica trees planted nearly a century ago alongside Catuai, Mundo Novo, Yellow Bourbon, and Ethiopian varieties. The entire plot is managed organically, without synthetic inputs. For this honey reposado, cherries were picked by hand, rested overnight, then depulped with the mucilage left on the parchment. The coffee dried slowly on raised beds for 15 to 18 days, deepening in color and sweetness, before resting for several weeks ahead of milling. The result is a coffee shaped by both the biodiversity of the Chamaco Lot and the careful processing the Montero family is known for.”
