INTRO From Alejo Castro's Volcán Azul farm in Costa Rica — a zesty, fruit-forward Rume Sudan anchored by comforting cocoa tones. Lemon rind brightness opens the cup, giving way to date-like depth and a smooth milk chocolate finish. In the cup: lemon rind, date, and milk chocolate.
THE PRODUCER This lot comes from Alejo Castro's Volcán Azul farm in Costa Rica, growing Rume Sudan — a distinctive Ethiopian-origin variety valued for its structure and depth when processed with care.
THE PROCESS This lot is processed as a Yellow Honey, with cherries pulped and dried with a portion of mucilage intact, followed by 25 days of slow, even drying on raised beds.
The slow 25-day drying is the defining step — it's what builds the structure and layered sweetness behind the lemon rind, date, and milk chocolate character that define this cup.
THE CUP Zesty and comforting — lemon rind brightness opens the cup, giving way to date-like depth and a smooth milk chocolate finish. The honey process and slow drying give it a layered, tactile texture throughout.
