Bean Bio

From the vendor:

This coffee is produced in the Cachi microregion of Orosi near Cartago, Costa Rica. Four generations have produced coffee at the La Margarita farm. In 2000, the family built a micromill and named it Zalmari. This farm neighbors the Tapanti Wildlife Refuge and has gained the nickname “Misty Mountain” as a result of the mist that comes down the mountain of the wildlife refuge at night. This honey microlot produces an excellent espresso, developing floral notes and dark chocolate tones.
