Costa Rica Hacienda Sonora Honey – Single Origin Of the Month

Description

Hacienda Sonora Estate has been in Alberto’s family for over a Century. In the 1970s when Alberto took over the farm, he began planting most of the land with coffee and shortly after it became their main source of income. In 1999, with historically low coffee prices, Alberto invested in a mill to be able to maximise the quality. In doing so, he became a pioneer in very alternative processing techniques, such as Honey and Naturals. He also became living proof of how different varietals can create different levels of complexity within the cup. In 2011, Alberto’s son Diego joined the operation as co-manager. Today, Sonora has over 20 different varietals of plants, on 80 hectares of coffee land, and 20+ hectares of forest reserve, known to be a welcoming place to visit for coffee lovers.
