This is a rare chance to try two varietals grown at the same farm, side by side!
And if you visit La Pira and walk around the farm, you'll never want to leave. You want to hear more about Carlos harvesting methods and turn upside down on more of his theories. But since we cannot offer you that, we can now at least give you the chance to try these two gorgeous coffees side by side, and imagine that you are in Costa Rica.
About the La Pira Anaerobic Typica:
Flavour description: This is a delicate yet flavourful coffee. The Typica from La Pira has an aroma of cream and hazelnut. In the cup, you have flavour notes of chocolate spread, a hint of white tea and a cooling finish of black currant. The body is light to medium in weight and gives a silky, almost lactic, mouthfeel.
