Villa Sarchí Coffee Process

Villa Sarchí Coffee Process
Villa Sarchí is a Costa Rican variety with a bright profile, light body, and floral aroma.
These steps enhance the unique character of Villa Sarchí coffee:

Selective Harvesting
Only beans at their ideal ripeness are picked to ensure a clean and balanced cup.
Honey Depulping
Part of the mucilage is retained, allowing natural sugars to positively influence the flavor.
Short Fermentation
A controlled fermentation stabilizes the flavor without masking floral notes.
Raised Bed Drying
Drying takes place on African beds for constant airflow, preventing overheating.
Resting in Parchment
Beans rest in their parchment for weeks, stabilizing flavors before hulling.
Key Features

Ventilated Drying

This meticulous process enhances the clarity and floral notes that distinguish Villa Sarchí.
