Light Roast - Costa Rica Farm Select — Finca Higuerones, Moravia

<p>Finca Higuerones sits at 1250 meters in Moravia, in the hills above Costa Rica's Central Valley, where the Coopelibertad cooperative has spent decades connecting small farms to buyers who actually care what's in the cup. This is a honey-processed Catuai — a farm select lot, picked and dried with the kind of attention that shows up later, quietly, in the flavor.</p><p>Cooked red grape and cocoa lead, followed by a turn of clove and a bright snap of fresh cranberry at the close. The acidity is winey and full. The sweetness is mellow and sugary, the kind that doesn't announce itself. A light roast that's easy enough for a Tuesday and interesting enough to make you slow down.</p>
