Overview
The La Pastora Tarrazú lot represents a regional legacy from Coope Tarrazú, a collective of producers that has led the specialty scene in Costa Rica for over 60 years. This SHB-grade selection is characterized by its high-altitude cultivation and careful processing, which yields a refined chocolatey structure. Professionals will appreciate its bluish-green appearance and consistent quality. On the cupping table, we tasted a deep sweetness of molasses and prune, balanced by the complex bitterness of cacao nibs, all supported by a creamy texture and bright acidity.

About Tarrazú
The Tarrazú region, located in the interior mountains of Costa Rica, is perhaps the most famous coffee-growing area in the country. Known as the "Land of the Saints," it is characterized by its volcanic soil and high-altitude peaks that provide a cool climate for slow cherry maturation. Coffee from this region is globally recognized for its vibrant acidity and full body. The cooperative infrastructure in Tarrazú, such as Coope Tarrazú, supports thousands of smallholders, ensuring sustainable practices and consistent quality control that meets the highest specialty standards.
