Volcán Azul

Alajuela is a department of Costa Rica in the north-central region of the country. Elevations here range from 900-1400 masl, and the region is blessed with a variety of micro-climates suitable for coffee production.

This coffee is sourced from Alejo Castro and his West Valley farm, Volcán Azul, in Alajuela. Alejo is the fifth generation descendant of renowned coffee pioneers Alejo C. Jimenez and Whilhelm Kahle. His ancestors planted some of the very first specialty coffee plantations in the country back in the 1900s. With over 200 years of experience, Alejo & his family’s goal with the farm has been to have a positive impact on the environment while improving crop quality. Many of the coffees produced at Volcán Azul have won awards.

This specific lot is made up entirely of San Isidro, a local mutation of Caturra. It was naturally processed and dried on patios for 13-15 days.

The resulting cup reminds us of apple, grape, and dark chocolate.

Troisième sac Th3rdwave de mai : Le Volcan Azul torréfié chez Fawkes Coffee, Edmonton. C'est un San Isidiro naturel, une variété locale du Caturra au Costa Rica qui a été cultivé par la ferme d'Alejo Castro dans la région de la Vallée Ouest. Je me suis fait un french press avec 35g de café dans 490ml d'eau. Au nez, le grain moulu porte des odeurs de chair de raisin vert, une légère acidité de pomme ainsi que de furtives notes de bonbon. En bouche, le café possède des saveurs de cacao avec l'amertume du chocolat noir. Ensuite on goûte les raisin secs, voir même un côté datte. C'est dans la finale qu'on approche de la pomme et sa chair blanche. Bon petit café simple par Fawkes. J'ai l'impression ne pas avoir infusé de manière à rendre justice au produit. Probablement qu'un espresso ou quelque chose de plus intense aurait été mieux. En french press, il est tout de même léger et accessible, voir facile à boire.
