LIGHT UP COFFEE LA CANDELILLA - COSTA RICA (SOFT)

Sale price HK$180.00

LIGHT UP COFFEE buys "Costa Rica Candelilla" coffee every year. The quality of this Costa Rican coffee improves every year, and we wholeheartedly recommend it.

We source this coffee every year and this season is our eighth. In 2018, we updated our wet grinder (washed equipment), which improved the clarity of the coffee, brighter acidity, more fruity flavors, and a sweeter taste.

"Candelilla" means "firefly" in Spanish, the official language of Costa Rica. The refinery got its name from the clear waters here, where fireflies live.

Coffee beans picked from nine surrounding farms are transported to the refinery around 5pm, where they are carefully selected and refined.

The establishment of the Candelilla refinery has undergone a series of scrutiny from quality to picking and equipment. The skill level of the “pickers” who pick the coffee has also improved, and the precision of picking has also increased so that only coffee of consistent quality is picked.
