Costa Rica La Amistad
|
A complex, nicely balanced coffee with mild acidity a pleasant malty aroma. Slightly sweet and nutty tending towards peanut or hazelnut.
One of the main sources of income for this farm is the organic coffee. The owners of the La Amistad farm have been actively growing organically for the past ten years. The land that the coffee is now grown on was previously pasture land, with each pasture being separated by bands of forest. These areas give access for the wildlife to be able to move around and still have commercial coffee production going on at the same time.
There are also organic vegetable gardens on the estate, growing Jalape–o and sweet peppers to make their own organic salsa. The farm has plenty of shade trees, and in addition to these, a few years ago. Erythrina and leguminous trees were also planted for a supply of Nitrogen to the coffee system, where there was not enough. The coffee from La Amistad is organic shade grown certified by OCIA. The farm is mostly self-sufficient; the streams from the rain forest supply the water for washing the coffee as well as the power source for the farm, due to it's own hydro-electrical plant. The fertilizers for the plants come from composting the waste from the animals, the cherry pulp, leaves, and ashes. The coffee is dried on cement patios as weather conditions permit and is then sent for milling, which is done to our specific and very strict standards. The end result is a coffee that has a mild body, mild acidity, and a clean cup.
