🌟 Why is this bean so special?

1. Microclimate Advantage of the Tarrazú Region

Mirazu Estate is located at the highest point of the Tarrazú region. The dense forest shade and fertile volcanic soil create excellent growing conditions. Estate owner Esteban Sanches' profound understanding of the land and coffee ensures that each batch of beans faithfully presents the unique flavors of the region.

2. Integration of Technology and Craftsmanship

Estate owner Esteban Sanches is known locally as "Dr. Machine." From the small wet processing equipment in the mill to the design and assembly of the roasters and hullers, he personally handles everything. He spares no expense in research and experimentation, solely to capture the purest potential of the coffee.

3. Unique "Raisin Honey Process"

This bean utilizes the highly time-consuming "Raisin Honey Process." During drying, the coffee cherries undergo a stage similar to raisin formation, allowing the sugars and aromas from the pulp to deeply penetrate the green beans. This processing method brings a flavor different from typical Geisha – in addition to the characteristic floral notes, it offers a richer, honey-like sweetness, full-bodied layers, and a lingering aftertaste.

💡 A Little Encyclopedia on Processing Methods

The "Raisin Honey Process" is an advanced version of the honey process. Coffee cherries are first dried until they resemble raisins, then pulped and dried a second time. This process requires extremely precise control of temperature and humidity, and due to its complexity, it imparts superior sweetness and a rich fermented aroma to the coffee.
