The Story Behind the Bean

In Costa Rica’s renowned Tarrazú region, farmers of San Francisco harvest ripe cherries by hand before carefully pulping them. Instead of fully washing the beans, they leave behind a layer of sticky fruit mucilage — the “honey” — which dries slowly on raised beds in the mountain air.

This process strikes a magical balance between washed and natural coffees: the clarity of a washed cup with the rich sweetness of a natural. The result is a coffee that tastes as if it has absorbed both sunlight and blossoms, earning its place as one of the region’s most distinctive treasures.

The result is Solstice Bloom — a cup alive with sweetness and clarity, like drinking the longest day of the year in liquid form.
