Discover an exceptionally rare capsule from a limited edition – Limited Release Rare Lungo from Colonna Coffee, which offers a unique experience of the Costa Rican SL-28 variety. This noble variety, originally bred in Africa in the 1920s, is a real rarity in Costa Rica. It ripens on the Los Durán family farm in the Sarchí region under balanced conditions at higher altitudes, where slow ripening naturally enhances its sweetness, distinctive fruity tones, and elegant acidity. The result is a coffee with an exceptionally clean aroma that stands out for its delicacy, complexity, and natural fruitiness.
A precise semi-washed process was chosen for this lot, which gives the coffee purity and expressive depth. After harvesting, the cherries are destemmed, fermented in the air, and then dried on raised beds, which preserves their fresh structure and aromatic complexity. The cup reveals a juicy citrus line complemented by a velvety body and a long, herbal-spicy finish. The whole is complemented by subtle notes of blackcurrant and wine acidity, reminiscent of expressive African lots, while retaining the typical Costa Rican purity and sweetness.
The capsules are packaged in sets of 10 and are compatible with Nespresso® systems. Colonna uses recyclable aluminum, combining top quality with a responsible approach to the environment. Limited Release Rare is the ideal choice for anyone who desires a delicate, sophisticated, and flavorful espresso experience. It is a coffee that appeals not only for its rarity, but also for its harmony of flavors and unique character.
