Flavor Description

Faint white florals and honey on the dry aroma; crisp citrus and green-apple acidity on entry; delicate honey and caramel sweetness through the middle; a light, smooth body; and a finish of cocoa and soft florals. Elegant and restrained rather than loudly fruity.

Buying Tips

  • Terroir: Tres Ríos sits on the southern slopes of Irazú volcano, with volcanic ash soils, ample sun, and well-defined wet and dry seasons — often considered one of Costa Rica's most ideal terroirs
  • Production: The region is small, and as San José expands, the area under coffee shrinks year by year

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: Medium-fine grind, 91°C, ratio 1:15–1:16
  • Tasting: Let it cool to 55–60°C for more pronounced florals and honey sweetness
