Coffee Origin

Costa Rica

Costa Rican farmers are known for their tendency to experiment with various post harvest processing method and for planting rare and interesting coffees, such as SL-28 and Geisha. We've been buying our Costa Rican coffees direct from the same producers for several years with the help of Selva coffee.

We first bought coffee from San Juanillo farm in 2019 and have visited several times. They grow various varietals using natural farming methods that encourage insect and bird life.

Amazing taste, especially for the price

I have been really impressed with El Zumo. HCR have done an amazing job of creating this blend. I get loads of cooked fruit sweetness rather than bright acidity, and to my taste, no funky fermented flavours and very low bitterness. I actually enjoy the flavour of this more than many single origin coffees, which cost perhaps 50% more. I have also played around with blending this with a washed Kenyan coffee, to give it a little more up front acidity (2/3 El Zumo, 1/3 washed Kenyan). Either way this coffee is awesome.

Great profile for a blend

This is my first blend after a long run of single origins and I'm convinced! It's delicious, focused and fruity without any being over-powering or cloying. The roast is spot-on. It could easily persuade me to be less of a snob!
