{"product_id":"costa-rica-west-valley-single-origin-coffee","title":"Costa Rica West Valley Single Origin Coffee","description":"\u003cp\u003eCosta Rica grows coffee on volcanic soil, at altitude, in a climate that is about as well-suited to Arabica as you can find anywhere. Land here is at a premium, so growers long ago made the call to focus on quality over quantity. The country is also unique for the Coffee Law, passed in 1962, which regulates fair relations across the supply chain and locks in traceability for every bean produced here.There are eight distinct coffee regions in Costa Rica. Coope Atenas was established in the August of 1969 with a membership of 96 small coffee producers from the area of Atenas in Alajuela. The cooperative was founded with the intent to unify the small holder producers of the area and empower farmers to grow, industrialize and market their coffee under their own mark.The cooperative offers various services to members including: technical assistance from agronomists regarding varietals, optimal farming practices based on location and soil type, fertilizers and pest and disease control to name a few.With this lot cherries were pulped, fermented to breakdown the mucilage, washed and then dried on patios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the nose you'll get strong citrus with lemon and orange peel with hints of dark chocolate. and malic acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the tongue, there's a strong mallic and honey finish bringing sweetness to the dark chocolate experience leading to a full bodied well balanced and creamy coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's got depth.
