Summer Social
ALPINE STRAWBERRY. FRAPPÉ. TOASTED ALMONDS.
Your favourite Costa Rican coffee is back, and that is how you know it is truly summer.
Sourced from the Central Valley and processed using the washed method, this wee gem is easygoing, but far from simple. Bright, refreshing splash of acidity and the juicy sweetness of alpine strawberry, supported by a smooth frappé-like character that adds a cool, creamy dimension. Toasted almond rounds out the profile, giving the cup a balanced, almost elegant finish.
A crowd pleaser with clarity that makes it easy for anyone to enjoy every day, while still offering sweetness and structure that make it distinct. Truly mouthwatering stuff.

ORIGIN: Central Valley, Costa RicaVARIETY: Caturra & Costa Rica 95
PROCESS: Washed
ALTITUDE: 1200 - 1800 maslCosta Rica’s Central Valley is a region known for its high elevation, consistent weather patterns, and volcanic soils, all of which contribute to its clean and balanced cup profile.
These beans are processed using the washed method, which is common in Costa Rica and typically involves mechanical demucilaging rather than full depulping, fermentation, and washing. This is because Costa Rica’s coffee regulations limit water use in production, so cherries are usually demucilaged on the same day they are harvested and then dried on patios or mechanically. This process helps preserve the clean, sweet, and softly acidic character that defines the cup.
Summer Social is truly a gem that beautifully reflects the classic structure and clarity associated with one of the country’s most established coffee-growing areas.
