In March 2024, we returned to La Bandera in the renowned region of Tarrazu, Costa Rica. Meeting Diego Hidalgo at his beautiful farm, found high on the verdant mountainside, the rich aroma of coffee drying in the sun was unmistakable. Diego prides himself on the careful processing and drying of his coffee, producing an exciting array of flavour. Our second lot for the season from La Bandera is this superb filter lot.

I brewed this as a pour-over this morning and the natural process really shines through — it’s sweet and clean, no bitterness even as it cools. The Catuai varietal from that high Tarrazu altitude gives it a depth I haven’t found in cheaper bags.

My first brew was at 1950 meters from Tarrazu, and the natural process on this Catuai brings such a sweet, syrupy body that I've already ordered another bag.

The natural process on this Catuai really shines through at 1950 meters—I've brewed a few cups as filter and each one has that clean, fruity brightness Tarrazu is known for. Diego Hidalgo's lot arrived with a roast that's dialed in perfectly for pour-over.
