Introduction

Costa Rican Tarrazu Premium DON EVELIO farm is the Costa Rica Tarrazu District's premiere coffee farm. The estate is located on the slopes of the Talamanca Mountains surrounding the Tarrazu Valley.
Costa Rica Tarrazu Coffees have built a reputation as the world's highest quality. Using age-old processes dating back centuries and incorporating the latest in state of the art technology, Costa Rica Tarrazu Premium consistently delivers a superior coffee with an unforgettable, mellow flavor.

Growing

Our superior quality coffees begin with the healthiest Costa Rican Tarrazu Arabica Coffee trees grown in fertile, volcanic soil enhanced with a blend of natural nutrients and minerals.

Continuous soil testing is performed to insure that every generation of Costa Rica Tarrazu Premium Estate Coffee grows in a soil mixture with an optimum nutrient composition.

Harvesting

Unlike most conventional coffees, which are made from beans mass-harvested at varying levels of ripeness, each bean of Costa Rica Tarrazu Premium Estate Coffee is individually hand-picked.

Only beans that meet DON EVELIO Costa Rica Tarrazu Premium's rigid standards of ripeness and quality are harvested - each ripe bean remaining in prime condition for only a few days.

Processing

With conventional coffee processing, after the skins are removed from the harvested coffee beans by a process called pulping, the beans are soaked in water for many hours in a step called "fermentation" .

Drying

Our coffee is dried in the sun - a predictable method that can take 5 days. Increasingly, "better" quality coffees are being dried in the sun - producing a more consistent product. Costa Rica Tarrazu Premium coffee beans are dried in the sun to take advantage of the chemical processes present in this drying technique. This drying method insures perfect consistency and retention of quality.

Aging

After the drying process is complete, most conventional coffee growers hull and polish their beans and go directly to roasting.

However, one of the most significant enhancements to the flavor of Costa Rica Tarrazu Premium coffee is achieved by aging the Costa Rica Tarrazu beans in climate-controlled storage. This aging process gives Costa Rica Tarrazu Premium Estate coffee a wonderful, mellow, rich taste.

Roasting

Costa Rica Tarrazu DON EVELIO Premium's roasting technique is very important to the coffee's flavor. The roasting method we use offers several advantages.

Our traditional roasting technique provides uniform amounts of heat to each bean, and contaminants such as smoke, dust, and burning oils are cleanly removed as they are produced, enhancing the quality of the roast and insuring a great tasting coffee.

Costa Rica Tarrazu Premium offers only the highest grades of coffee. An estate roast that combines the full range of flavors from the harvest, and the Private Reserve Roast that combines only the very largest beans with Peaberry Beans to produce a truly special flavor. Both of these grades are roasted at a "Medium Dark" temperature that is best suited for Costa Rica Tarrazu Coffee.

Delivery

Coffee is best consumed as soon after roasting as possible, in that continued exposure to oxygen will begin the staling process. Therefore, Costa Rican Tarrazu DON EVELIO Premium Estate Coffee is always roasted specifically to meet order demand; packaged immediately after roasting in specially designed bags that prevent introduction of oxygen and moisture, and then rushed to the customer so it can be perfectly fresh when it's finally poured in your cup!
