Situated on the slopes of the Turrialba volcano at an altitude of 1,400 MASL, it stands as the largest single-block coffee plantation in Costa Rica. The land is uniquely crisscrossed by a network of natural waterways connecting the two major rivers that border the estate: the Turrialba and the Aquiares. This majestic natural setting was home to a small pre-Columbian community hundreds of years ago, and traces of their history can still be found on the grounds today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis harvest marks the ninth consecutive year NOMAD have worked alongside Diego, and the eighth year of dealing entirely direct. By negotiating the price directly with Diego - who also acts as the exporter - the export commission stays right where it belongs: with the farm. Furthermore, the import is handled directly, chartering the container straight from Costa Rica to Barcelona.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWashed:\u003c\/strong\u003e First, floating and unripe cherries are meticulously removed. The high-quality, dense cherries are then pulped using a Penagos DCV 306. The mucilage is mechanically removed via a Penagos delva before the cherries are transferred to tanks for a 6-hour partial fermentation. A preliminary pre-drying phase is performed in a Centriflux machine before the coffee is moved to the final drying stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMechanical Drying:\u003c\/strong\u003e The coffee undergoes 32 hours of drying in a Guardiola dryer within a strict temperature range of \u003cstrong\u003e45°C–55°C\u003c\/strong\u003e. Two 2-hour resting breaks during the day ensure a slow, uniform drying process for all beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing drying, the green beans are rested in parchment for a minimum of two months before final milling, and are packed in 69-kg GrainPro bags inside protective jute sacks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nomad","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":54222845215062,"sku":"CR-ENTRERIOS-250","price":13.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/3119\/2662\/files\/E.CR.ERW.webp?v=1781683937","url":"https:\/\/cupp.bg\/en\/products\/entre-rios-costa-rica","provider":"CUPP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
