This Obatá is one of Alejo’s most process-driven coffees, with warm anaerobic fermentation creating an intense yet layered profile. Mango and passion fruit lead with vibrant tropical sweetness, followed by rich cherry jam. As the cup develops, darker notes of chocolate emerge alongside a distinctive boozy character from the fermentation. Bold, sweet and unmistakably funky, this is a coffee for those who enjoy adventurous flavour.
Volcan Azul lies on the edge of the Poás Volcano in the West Valley of Costa Rica, a region defined by fertile soils and distinct wet and dry seasons. For five generations, the families behind the estate have pursued quality-focused coffee production. Alongside their work at the farm, descendants of the founding families continue to acquire areas of natural tropical forest for conservation, protecting the surrounding environment for future generations. This long-term approach combines generations of experience with a willingness to explore new varieties and techniques.



The process begins by measuring the Brix levels of coffee cherries on the tree to determine the ideal point for harvesting. Whole cherries are then sealed in tanks for six days at 23.7°C, where naturally occurring yeasts drive a warm anaerobic fermentation. Throughout the process, Alejo monitors time, temperature, pH and sugar levels to maintain control. The cherries are then patio-dried for eight days before finishing in mechanical dryers. This carefully managed fermentation creates the intense tropical sweetness and funky, boozy character found in the cup.
