Juanra’s awareness of the natural world on his farm transforms coffee cultivation into an art. Using biodynamic practices honed over decades, Juanra thoughtfully ensures that every bean tells a story of respect for the earth and how care is what makes great coffee.
In this natural Costa Rican lot, Juanra adds another layer to that story, demonstrating his mastery of processing and how the farmers hand crafts the flavor of a coffee. Skillful fermentation and consistent sun drying in full cherry lend this lot its loud, layered fruit notes and unique finish.
