Its flavor profile is dominated by distinctive notes of tropical fruit and wild strawberries, which smoothly transition into a rich sweetness reminiscent of luxurious pralines.

This coffee is intended for lovers of complex and juicy flavors who seek an intense experience in every sip.
The basis of this lot is the Villa Sarchi variety, which ripens at an altitude of 1,700 meters above sea levelin the microclimate of the Chirripó region. It is the high-altitude conditions and volcanic soil that give the beans their typical density and concentrated flavor.
However, the uniqueness of this coffee lies primarily in the processing method known as Natural Reposado. This is essentially a dry processing method, which involves a few extra steps at the beginning of the process. First, a very slow and controlled fermentation takes place for several hours to days in bags, allowing the beans to rest in the cherries for a longer period of time, developing a deep fruity character and unprecedented sweetness. This is followed by classic sun drying. The result of this precise work is a profile that is best highlighted when prepared using alternative methods such as Drip, Chemex, or Aeropress. Corazon de Jesus offers an exceptionally harmonious composition that will transport you with its energy directly to the blooming exotic gardens of Central America.
