Named after the yellow bamboo growing between the coffee trees throughout the farm, El Bambú sits in the lush tropical mountains of Costa Rica's famous coffee lands. Grown and milled by the three Alvarado Sisters, this washed lot demonstrates their prowess as coffee producers. The sweetness we love in Costa This mixes with gentle dried fruit and sweet citrus notes of the varietal to create a coffee that lingers on one's lips like candy, making one want another sip and another cup.
We are excited to share this new coffee and highlight the work of the Hermanas Alvarado. In the cup we taste dried apricot, honey, and tangelo.
