A fan favorite returns! This is our second harvest working with Javier Umaña, a producer in the El Rodeo community of Costa Rica’s Santa María de Dota. We were introduced to Don Javier two years ago by our friends at Hacienda La Minita, while visiting some of the producers behind our main Santa Maria de Dota lot.
With his coffee growing at some of the highest elevations in the area, he continues to produce coffees that are absolutely delicious year after year. What began last harvest as a small test is now a larger lot of naturally-processed coffee made exclusively for 8th & Roast.
With support from Hacienda La Minita’s expert post-harvest team, precise fermentation, along with careful drying and milling bring out the full potential of this coffee and reflect the dedication of Don Javier and his family.
In the cup, you’ll find notes of watermelon bubblegum, blackberry pie, and green apple. It’s available now on drip and pour-over in our cafés, with retail bags available online and in-store.
