From the very same multi-generation growers who produce our exclusive El Tigre comes our Costa Rica Tarrazu Puma SHB. In 2023 we mark the 9th year of production for the Costa Rica Tarrazu Puma with cup quality having improved each season as the producers have become more and more refined in their process. As a result the Puma has better acidity than other Costa Ricans and a great, bright aroma in the cup.
Notes of citrusy orange-tangerine with a hint of dried apricot. Balanced body and acidity.
As a whole the Tarrazu region is best known for its coffees having a more pronounced acidity and snappy kick compared to those grown in other parts of Costa Rica. As for the Puma, it’s grown in volcanic soil at elevations ranging from 3,000 – 5,000 feet. Moreover, we emphasize the fact that small estate producers are responsible for the cultivation, milling and determination of the Tarrazu coffees that comprise this Vournas Coffee exclusive.
The Costa Rica Tarrazu Puma lots are graded SHB (Strictly Hard Bean) and fully meet requirements for Costa Rica’s highest grade of coffee. The coffee is processed at La Eva mill, hand sorted and either sun dried or mechanically dried depending on weather and precipitation.
