The same green coffee, roasted differently:
The dark end. The longer roast puts cocoa and molasses underneath the fruit. Particularly good with milk.

Where it comes from
This coffee is a microlot from the Heredia part of the Central Valley, from a family mill where neighbouring farms bring their cherry. Juan Ramón Alvarado Rodríguez and his family are fourth-generation producers; they have been building out the processing since 2003, and added a cupping lab and a roastery so they can taste what leaves their hands. This lot is Villa Sarchí, dry processed — hence the spice, the cooked cherry and the cocoa. “I hope to God that I will die a farmer, and I hope my son does too,” Juan Ramón says.

Freshness and storage
The bag carries the roast date, so you can see exactly when it was made.
Whole bean is best between 4 and 8 weeks; ground, a few days. Keep it in a sealed bag at room temperature, away from light — the fridge doesn't help, and the freezer only works if you don't keep opening it.
