Costa Rica is celebrated for its progressive approach to coffee processing, driven by a strong culture of innovation and the rise of micro-mills. This coffee comes from that tradition, produced by Nelsyn Hernandez, whose work under Café Fátima reflects a deep commitment to thoughtful, precision-led processing. The lot is grown at Fátima, her 37-acre farm located in the Tarrazú region of León Cortés.
Processed using the honey method, the coffee is dried with a portion of the fruit’s natural mucilage still intact. Skipping the washing stage reduces water use and environmental impact, while allowing the sugars in the mucilage to enhance sweetness, structure, and clarity in the cup.
Processing Details
Only carefully selected ripe cherries are used, with hand-sorting and flotation ensuring quality from the start. After depulping, the coffee is laid out on patios to dry with the mucilage retained. Once surface moisture is reduced, it is moved to mechanical dryers for controlled, even drying until the beans reach a stable moisture content of approximately 11%.
100% specialty grade Arabica coffee beans, no added flavors.
This coffee is a quiet celebration of craft. From Costa Rica’s Tarrazú highlands, Finca Fátima’s Red Honey Catuai offers a cup that is bright yet composed—juicy, floral, and gently sweet—reflecting the thoughtful farming and processing that define Costa Rican coffee.
