Costa Rica – Beneficio M&M – Finca La Pachuca Micro Lot

M&M Micro Mill, managed by the coffee expert Roberto Mata and his son Michael, stands as a testament to their extensive experience in crafting exceptional specialty coffee. Located in the Dota region, Tarrazu, Costa Rica, this micro mill processes the harvest from various family members in the Dota area.

This lot comes from Finca La Pachuca owned by Mata’s Family since 1994. The Caturra and Catuai grow at an elevation of 1600 above the sea level.

This micro lot e undergoes a natural controlled lactic fermentation process, with 100% of the beans harvested at their optimal ripeness, measuring at 20 Brix. Prior to this, there’s a slow drying phase on African beds lasting 7 days. Subsequently, the beans are dried for 6 days in a rotary dryer, maintaining a temperature below 50°C, with resting periods every 12 hours. This carefully controlled process results into a very sweet fruitiness and juicy cup with a warming chocolatey aftertaste and some nutmeg hints.
