Don Senel
Orange brings the first flash of brightness before the cup settles into ripe purple fruit — grape, blackberry and black cherry — and a distinctly winey character. A gentle cola-like fizz runs through the acidity, giving way to a heavy, rounded body and a darker caramelised finish.
Produced by Don Senel Speciality Coffee in Costa Rica’s Brunca region, this Villa Sarchi lot was grown at 1,700 metres and uses a natural carbonic-maceration process. Very ripe cherries are selected at a minimum of 25° Brix, pre-dried on raised beds, fermented in sealed tanks and then dried slowly below 30°C.

Producer Info
Don Senel Speciality Coffee developed the natural carbonic-maceration process used for this lot. Very ripe, deep-red cherries are handpicked at a minimum of 25° Brix, then cleaned and sorted at the micromill.
The cherries are pre-dried on raised beds for 2–3 days before being sealed in tanks, where fermentation usually takes around six days and is monitored to a target pH. The coffee is then dried on raised beds below 30°C for around 38 days.
SHIPPING & DELIVERY
Our dispatch days are currently Tuesdays and Thursdays. Orders placed by midnight the night before will be included in the next roast day’s dispatch.
