Descending from the highest peak in Costa Rica, the pine trees lining the steep slopes are slowly replaced by verdant coffee plants. Working across the valley, John Alvarado and his family have been instrumental in changing the reputation of coffee from Brunca.
With a focus on modern processing, Corazón de Jesús is a great example of the 'micro mill' model. This is a deliciously rich coffee, with notes of chocolate mousse and caramelised fig.
Tasting this naturally processed lot, our first thought was velvety chocolate mousse. Caramelised fig, plum, vanilla, and nutmeg follow, bringing sweet complexity. With gentle acidity, the sweetness and texture of this lot really shine.
Corazón de Jesús is situated in the shadow of the Chirripó mountain. The highest peak in Costa Rica was named as the ‘land of eternal waters’ in the indigenous language, reflecting the bountiful lakes which contribute to a unique terroir. Coffee from the Brunca region has seen amazing improvements in recent years. The Alvarado family have prioritised the production of speciality coffee beans, experimenting with the best possible combinations of cultivar and process.
The farm is part of the Bandera Azul program, an organisation that encourages sustainable production through better farming practices, environmental conservation, and responsible water management. Our lot was grown at their El Salitre Plot. Located at 1800 meters, it benefits from rich soil and weather conditions.
Selective picking helps guarantee the best possible flavour. The cherries arrive at the mill in the afternoon and are processed the next day. This naturally processed lot was dried slowly on raised beds.
I have admit getting nervous when the familiar cozy brown bags are diminishing. Brewing coffee with my shiny Italian Bezzera is a must and great entertainment to my friends. We order two kilos of Barn’s choice, price irrelevant. And recently they did put so exra when I complained of poor and ragged packaging. A lot of extra. So there is a nice pile even after the newest delivery. Even the mailman knows that fresh coffee is coming. Thanks!
The Barn are never disappointing. Amazing coffees that give you cups full of clearness, taste and aroma. Will definitely buy from them again.
Great overall taste, no sourness, keep reordering as a staple.
