Costa Rica Jaguar Honey

"Costa Rica Jaguar Honey" is a coffee with a refreshing acidity like berries and citrus and a flavor like fragrant nuts. In addition, the sweetness brought out by the honey process (*) is combined with the acidity to create an exquisite taste. The design of the package is based on the traditional decoration featuring colorful floral patterns drawn on a cart called "Careta" used to carry coffee in Costa Rica.

* One of the methods for refining coffee beans. Unlike water-washing refining, which removes the exodermis and flesh from the coffee berries, removes the mucilage called mucilage, and dries the raw beans, the honey process dries the flesh and pulp on the parchment (inner pericarp). After a drying process of more than a week, the sweetness component penetrates into the beans, creating a berry-like flavor with a mellow mouthfeel and delicate flavor while the water content is reduced to the appropriate level.
