Costa Rica SHB EP Palmichal Honey Finca Frailes – Ultra Premium

At De La Pau Coffee Co., we see coffee not merely as a beverage, but as a work of art shaped by its origin, nature, and processing. One of the finest expressions of this philosophy comes from Palmichal Honey Finca Frailes, sourced from Costa Rica’s Tarrazú region, one of the most prestigious coffee origins in the world.

Origin & Terroir

• Country: Costa Rica

• Region: Tarrazú

• Altitude: 1,500–1,600 m

• Variety: 100% Arabica

• Harvest Season: October – March

Costa Rica’s Tarrazú region is home to some of the world’s highest-scoring specialty coffees, thanks to its rich volcanic soils and ideal microclimate.
The Strictly Hard Bean (SHB) classification guarantees that these beans are grown at high altitude, resulting in a dense structure and complex character.

Processing & Quality

• Processing: Honey Process (semi-washed)

The honey process combines the fruity sweetness of natural coffees with the clean clarity of washed coffees, creating a beautifully balanced profile.

Roasting Standard

• Roast Level: Medium Roast

• SCA Temperature Range: 410–428 °F (210–220 °C)

A medium roast highlights the coffee’s bright acidity, layered fruit character, and chocolate-driven finish.

• Aroma: Dark chocolate

• Flavor: Blackberry and stone fruits with rich fruity intensity

• Tasting Notes: Bright acidity, medium body, blackberry and stone fruit notes with a chocolate finish

• Body: Medium, well balanced
