Grown on steep, shade-covered slopes where cherries ripen extremely slowly, SL28 produces a brilliantly clean and complex cup — crisp red berry acidity, delicate florals, and a characteristic eucalyptus note that sets it apart from any other Costa Rican lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis washed SL28 from Macho and Herberth Naranjo showcases how Kenyan genetics can express themselves with startling clarity when cultivated at extreme altitude in Tarrazú.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2007, Efraín \"Macho\" Naranjo bought his first piece of land on the mountain slopes of Santa Rosa de Leon Cortez. He worked 18–20 hours per day in those early years, and that conviction proved correct: Santa Rosa 1900 now spans 28 hectares planted with a remarkable range of varietals. Macho runs the farm alongside his sons Herberth and Kevin. The micro mill sits at 1,900 metres, with land stretching to 2,000 metres — making it one of the most elevated operations in Costa Rica.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coffee trees grow on steep slopes amongst natural shade vegetation, avocado, citrus, and banana trees. Cherries are carefully hand picked and sorted at the washing station before processing, separated into day lots traceable by picking date. Koppi has worked with Herberth and his family since 2011, and every visit feels like returning home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Double Fully Washed process at Santa Rosa 1900 involves:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🍒 \u003cstrong\u003eHand-Picking \u0026amp; Sorting\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cherries selected at peak ripeness and sorted at the washing station\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🔧 \u003cstrong\u003eDay Lot Separation\u003c\/strong\u003e — Each lot traceable by picking date for full quality control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e💧 \u003cstrong\u003eDouble Washing\u003c\/strong\u003e — Full removal of mucilage through two washing stages for exceptional cup clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ \u003cstrong\u003eDensity Sorting\u003c\/strong\u003e — The \"Oliver\" machine separates beans by weight, ensuring uniformity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e☀️ \u003cstrong\u003eRaised Bed Drying\u003c\/strong\u003e — Dried slowly over 16–18 days in Tarrazú's cool mountain climate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMacho keeps his micro mill immaculately clean at all times, and his meticulous attention to detail at every stage is what consistently produces coffee of the highest quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSanta Rosa 1900 SL28 is crisp and complex — juicy berry notes lead into delicate florals, with a distinctive eucalyptus finish that confirms the extraordinary altitude at which this coffee was grown.
