Flavor Description

Santa Rosa beans display the most solid Central American base. Under medium roasting, it carries distinct nut, cocoa, and buttery smoothness. Acidity is gentle and non-irritating—balanced and very drinkable.

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: 88–89°C, medium grind. Very resilient to brewing variations, great for practicing pouring stability.
  • Latte Tip: Excellent as a latte base when dark-roasted, blending perfectly with milk.
