Blind Assessment
Ingratiating and open, this coffee makes the most of what it brings to the cup. Not bright but gently lively, nicely balanced between sweet and dry tones, with a pleasant supporting resonance. As the cup cools a slight, almost indistinguishable (storage-related?) hardness seems to shadow the sweetness.
Notes
This certified organic coffee is exported by a coffee mill.

Lomas al Rio is not a farm, but a coffee mill and exporter, which means this coffee could have come from one of a number of farms pursuing organic growing processes northwest of the Costa Rican capital of San Jose.

Who Should Drink It
