About
Washed filter coffee from the Montero family, who helped build Tarrazú's specialty coffee scene. Carlos Montero founded the Don Eli processing station in 2014 and named it after his father Eli; his son Jacob now runs it. This lot, Anfiteatro, takes its name from the terraced slope above San Marcos de Tarrazú at the family's La Pastora farm, where Carlos once grew apples. Cherries are pulped so that most of the mucilage stays on the beans, rested in tanks for 48 hours, washed clean and dried on raised beds, turned daily, for 12 days. Juicy and soft in the cup.
