Costa Rica Hacienda Sonora Diego Guardia Dwarf Caturra Natural

Grown by Alberto and Diego Guardia at Hacienda Sonora in Carrillos Alto de Poás, Alajuela, at 1,300 masl, this Dwarf Caturra natural is dried on tarps for 12 days then finished in a mechanical dryer powered by renewable energy. The natural process delivers bright fruit—green apple and red berries with caramel-forward sweetness—but remains restrained compared to many naturals, offering balance and clarity. Requires heavy extraction to shine; expect fast brews with pronounced acidity and fruit complexity that evolves over the first week after opening.
