This naturally processed coffee is clean and crisp. A slow drying process brings depth and texture. Expect pear, mango, and almond, underpinned by rich dark chocolate. Acidity is gently lactic.
After completing his studies, Diego Hidalgo lived in the USA for more than 14 years. Together with his wife and children, they then decided to invest a large part of their savings to buy La Bandera.
La Bandera is located close to the Cerro de la Muerte, which is one of the highest peaks in Costa Rica. Cool winds that blow from the mountain produce a unique microclimates that is perfect for coffee. The farm covers more than 100,000 square metres and has a wide variety of microlots and varieties.

Diego is passionate about processing, choosing to fully dry his coffees under sun. Natural processing requires a high level of care to ensure an even cup profile, but the results are well worth the effort. This lot was dried on raised beds at the mill, developing its complex profile.
