Product Description

Finca Salaca is a balanced coffee with just enough nuance to make it interesting. Rustic raw sugar and vanilla melded well together in the dry fragrance of the City roast, while we encountered aromatics like red fruit, and dark cocoa in the Full City roast. The crust on the light roast demonstrated caramel and fruit sweetness, like caramel apple, flanked by hints of toasted nut, and a sweet herbal accent. The apple fruit notes come through in the cup too, and develops some blackberry hints as the coffee cools off some. The underlying flavors in the brew are defined by notes of molasses and burnt sugar, with bittersweet chocolate from middle to finish. This coffee from Finca Salaca has a creaminess in texture regardless of roast level, though bolstered quite a bit at Full City. Darker roasts are chocolatey at their center, with wisps of toffee almond, baker's chocolate, and a sweet smokey note in the finish. Finca Salaca is an approachable coffee that's well suited for almost any roast, and a nice Costa Rican espresso option as well!
