Quick Guide

What is this coffee?

This red honey processed coffee from Minor Jimenez is a purist kind of coffee. A super clean terroir-forward profile with little to no prevalent perceived acidity and great chocolate notes. I really enjoy this coffee because it’s not overly bitter, but still easily delivers a classic chocolate forward cup profile. In 2025, we had the opportunity to interact with Minor’s whole family and share a delicious grilled lunch with him. We’re proud to have a large supply of his coffee, it’s certainly worth sharing.

Processing Method

Honey Process- Honey processing creates coffee's sweetest profiles by drying beans with sticky mucilage intact. From white honey's delicate notes to black honey's wine-like complexity, this method balances washed clarity with natural fruitiness for uniquely sweet cups.

Country

Costa Rica- Costa Rica's commitment to coffee excellence is unmatched. Point in fact: they once had a country-wide ban on the production of Robusta (a coffee plant that produces lower-quality coffee) and grew only Arabica for thirty years. This commitment has paid off on the global stage, as Costa Rican coffee has become widely known for its bright, clean, beautiful cups.

Altitude

1650masl - Altitude is typically correlative to the potential complexity of a coffee bean. The higher in altitude the coffee is grown, the denser the bean will be, resulting in a more dynamic cupping experience.

Classification

Brown Label- If not for those who come before us in the supply chain, we would not be the company we are today. In light of that, we see it critical to help producers in whatever way we can to develop in their craft as well.

Honey Process

Costa Rica

Costa Rica knows what it takes to produce high-quality beans and has been doing so for over 200 years. Rich volcanic soil and diverse terrain create bright, clean cups ranging from Tarrazú's bold aromas to Occidental's fruity peach notes. But it's their cutting-edge research in coffee that really sets Costa Rica apart from the rest.
