OBSESSIONS, Antonio Barrantes, Costa Rica, Typica Lima, Honey, 89 pts, 100g

From the myriad of sensory journeys I've experienced throughout numerous harvests, sprinkled with discoveries and revelations, a dream was born that slowly turned into an obsession: to create a collection of intense experiences, aromatic and taste jewels, preserved at the peak of their expression and available to be accessed for extended periods of time.
The Obsessions Collection is dedicated to those who live with passion, who constantly seek and are open to discovering the organic mosaics of the most subtle aromatic profiles or want to access floral or fruity, spicy or sweet memories.
Through the Obsessions Collection, we pay homage to the farmers who carefully polish these gems.
The violet glass container in which we present the coffees from this collection is of the highest quality, certified for contact with food, and can be reused for various purposes or recycled.
The roasting level of these coffees is very light, specially intended for manual filter preparation: Kalita Wave, Hario V60, April Brewer, Orea, Chemex, French Press, etc.
The coffees in this collection are roasted individually, only on demand, following an order placed online or at the roastery store.

At 1700 meters above sea level, on a sandy and volcanic terrain, is the processing station Cafetalera Herbazu, owned by Antonio Barrantes. It covers an area of 12 hectares of land in the Lourdes de Naranjo area, and its farmers do not use herbicides or insecticides.
Cafetalera Herbazu is the story of seven brothers and sisters who grow coffee and who in 2010 planted the SL28 variety, originating from Kenya, registered in Costa Rica and under the name "San Roque". The first production of these cherries was harvested in 2015 and won the first prize at the "Cup of Excellence" competition.
