Castro-Kahle Family, Costa Rica Anaerobic Honey Villa Sarchi

The Castro-Kahle family has been growing coffee since the early 1800s across three volcanic regions in Costa Rica. This lot comes from Volcan Azul in Poás, West Valley, at 1,650 meters elevation, where the family experiments continuously with processing methods while stewarding over 1,500 hectares of protected rainforest. The anaerobic honey process creates distinct, complex varietal expression in Villa Sarchi. Subtext scored it 86 points—a coffee that balances the family's legacy of quality with modern technique.
