Farm & Producer Information
On the slopes of Cerro Chirripó, Costa Rica’s highest peak, Aromas del Chirripó is a family-run coffee project built on curiosity, and a deep-rooted love for coffee. With guidance from experienced agronomists, the family experiments with varieties and processing to bring out coffees that are distinctive, expressive, and consistently delicious.
Two families work side by side, from the farm to the micro mill, with a shared goal: to add value to their harvest while becoming more connected to Costa Rica’s vibrant coffee culture. Since their first export in 2021, Aromas del Chirripó has quickly become one of the southern region’s producers to watch.
About the Varietal: Catuai
Catuai has thrived in the Tarrazú region of Costa Rica. Because Catuai absorbs the characteristics of its environment so well, its specific taste notes change based on how the coffee is processed and where it is grown. In the case of Tarrazú, the varietal leans toward crisp, juicy acidity, and a distinct sugar sweetness
Process
Natural Reposado
What is the Natural Reposado Process?
This process requires ultra hands-on attention in order to taste as clean and fresh as they achieve with their coffee at Aromas de Chirripó. It means needing a shaded, controlled drying environment for coffee to rest in its fruit without intense fermentation, and the additional raking while drying in the sun. Its payoff is incredible with accentuating flavor with a jammy body and softened vibrant complex acidity.
