Our daughter, Hannah, works in the care industry and loves this coffee so in honour of her and women everywhere who dedicate their lives to caring for others we've renamed it "Hannah's Delight".

These Costa Rica Microdota Mujer coffee beans come from the Tarrazú region, known for its rich volcanic soil and high altitudes, making it an ideal environment for cultivating specialty coffee. The beans are produced by the Coope Dota cooperative, specifically through the Microdota Mujer project, which is an initiative dedicated to empowering the 300 women involved in the cooperative.

Coope Dota has a longstanding commitment to environmental responsibility, achieving carbon-neutral certification in 2011. This certification underscores their approach to sustainable coffee farming, emphasising conservation and a low carbon footprint throughout their processing.

Microdota Mujer coffee is grown at elevations of 1,500 to 1,800 meters, where cool temperatures and fertile soil encourage slow development of the coffee cherries. The cherries are harvested by hand when they reach peak ripeness, with the growers targeting around 23 Brix (a measure of sweetness) for optimal flavour. After harvesting, the beans undergo honey processing, which involves removing the cherry’s skin but keeping some mucilage intact. This approach contributes a natural sweetness to the beans and enhances their complexity.

The drying process takes place on sunlit concrete patios, where beans are regularly raked to ensure consistent drying. This careful handling preserves the unique characteristics of the beans, resulting in a cup with bright acidity and distinct flavour notes. Typical tasting notes for Microdota Mujer coffee include hints of cranberry, grapefruit, cherry, and caramel, with underlying tones of marzipan for a balanced, nuanced profile.

Choosing this coffee supports the sustainable farming practices of Coope Dota and reinforces the role of female producers within the coffee industry, providing economic benefits and advancing the cooperative’s community-driven mission.

Excellent flavour

I use a burr grinder on these beans to make filter coffee. The resulting flavour is smooth and excellent with notes of caramel and other subtle unexpected flavours. This will have a place in our current favourite three coffee beans.

High quality Costa Rican

A high quality and well roasted coffee. Good body and balance with a nice juicy acidity (for me a rich but not overpowering subtle red cherry flavour). Sweet nutty and almond notes temper the acidity. Nice and drinkable and moreish. Has inspired me to seek out more honey process coffees.
