ABOUT THE COFFEE

This exceptional lot of PB beans from the La Torre farm presents a distinctly fruity and liqueur-like profile with notes of cherry, rum, and nougat. It is created through the cooperation of Damian Durda from Change of Tone with Jhon Alvarado and his family, who have consistently developed the production of high-quality specialty coffees in the Chirripó, Brunca region for years. The anaerobic natural process of this coffee highlights its intense sweetness and complexity, while preserving its clean character. We recommend it primarily for filter brewing methods, where its complex flavor profile and subtle, smooth aftertaste are most memorable.

ABOUT THE FARM

Jhon Alvarado, along with his son Antonio and the whole family, manage sixteen hectares of crops spread across four farms in the Chirripó, Brunca region in southern Costa Rica. This is exactly where lots based on varieties such as Gesha, SL28, or Ethiopia 47 are created, which are now processed in a newly built dry mill launched in 2025.

From the first experiments conducted on the Finca La Torre farm to multiple high rankings in the Cup of Excellence competition, the Alvarado family's business is based on conscious development, consistency, and a clearly defined vision of quality. Their approach combines modern processing methods with great attention to transparency and the character of the southern Costa Rican terroir.

The results are coffees with high clarity and a distinct sensory profile — ranging from elegant Geshas and complex anaerobics to the honey process.

This specific, selected PB lot, subjected to the anaerobic natural process, presents an intense character with notes of cherry, rum, and nougat, along with a dense, sweet structure.
