From Finca Arecas to your cup
Finca Arecas lies in Palmichal de Acosta, between Costa Rica’s Central Valley and the Tarrazú region. Native shade trees, the Tabarcia River and striking rock formations surround the farm. Producer Rodolfo Valverde brings a deep commitment to coffee and to the community that grows it.
The Palmichal Micro-Mill
Founded in 2015, Palmichal Micro-Mill works closely with producers to highlight the distinctive character of Costa Rica’s coffee farms. Its approach combines traditional craftsmanship with experimentation in processing, tailoring each method to the coffee’s variety and origin.
Natural anaerobic processing
Whole coffee cherries ferment in sealed barrels fitted with one-way valves to prevent oxygen from entering. The cherries are then dried on raised beds for seven days. The supplied lot description reports two months of rest before dry milling and sorting by weight, density, size and color.
Flavor and brewing
Raspberry, red wine and baking spices define the cupping profile. These are tasting notes, not added ingredients. We roast this coffee light-medium, to a roast temperature of 412°F. Suggested brewing methods include automatic drip, pour over and espresso.
