About This Coffee

At the beginning of the 19th century, two pioneers and entrepreneurs, Alejo C. Jiménez in Costa Rica and Wilhelm Kahle in southern Mexico, shared the same dream of producing the best coffee in the world to satisfy the new demanding European gourmet market. They were unaware of each other's existence, but their ideals of excellence and top quality have been carried on by their descendants, who still produce coffee in Costa Rica.

Hacienda La Union has been in the Castro-Kahle family since the 1840s. Alejo Kahle Castro, a fifth-generation producer, currently manages the farm. His dedication to quality and innovation has led to multiple wins in Cup of Excellence competitions with Hacienda La Union, Hacienda Colima, and Volcan Azul.

Although the farm's primary crop is sugar cane, the demand for excellent quality Costa Rican coffee has led to a shift towards coffee production. Hacienda La Union uses an anaerobic process for this coffee, which involves using tanks that release oxygen and replace it with CO2. The process begins with the Natural process. Different recipes are then developed by measuring time, temperature, pH or acidity of the mucilage, and brix content of the mucilage inside the tank. The aim is to develop or enhance flavours naturally present in the coffee with the help of autochthonous yeast from the farm. The coffee is then taken to the drying patio or raised beds and stirred every day from 8am to 2pm. At 2pm, the coffee is covered with plastic to maintain warmth during the night and prevent it from gaining humidity from the morning mist. This process takes between 7 and 16 days, depending on the weather.

Basic Brew Method

NORMCORE STYLE SUPER LIGHT ROASTING

We roast our single-origin coffees as lightly as possible. It's often lighter than the standard light-roast profile (Our development time ratio is 8-10%, while a typical light roast's ratio is around 13-16%).

Regardless of its origin, varietal or process, our approach is to maximise the flavour profile of the coffee by minimising flavours caused by roasting. Our single-origin coffees have a delightful silky texture and well-balanced taste, despite being lightly roasted.
