LIGHT UP COFFEE LA CANDELILLA - COSTA RICA (SOFT)
Fruity aromas of apricots and red apples and the sweetness of country biscuits are delightful, with lingering hints of Ceylon tea.
LIGHT UP COFFEE "Costa Rican Candelilla" which I will continue to purchase every year. This is Costa Rican coffee that we can wholeheartedly recommend, and the quality continues to improve every year.
I purchase this coffee every year and this season will be my seventh. In 2018, the wet grinder (washing equipment) was fully updated, with improved transparency, brighter acidity, stronger fruitiness, and more elegant sweetness.
Candelilla means firefly in Spanish, the official language of Costa Rica. The refinery got its name from the crystal clear water where fireflies live.
At around 5 pm that evening, coffee cherries harvested from nine surrounding farms were transported to this refinery, where they were carefully sorted and refined.
Candelilla Refinery has been improving every aspect of the refinery, from water quality to harvesting to equipment. The quality of the people who pick the coffee (called "pickers") has also improved, and the precision of the picking has improved, ensuring that only the highest quality coffee is picked.
