Our latest offering from the Tarrazu region of Costa Rica is from a farmer named Minor Jiminez, who is growing incredible coffees on his family farm. Minor comes from a long line of coffee farmers, but has recently decided to begin milling and processing coffees himself to increase quality. By doing this, Minor and his team can identify the best lots from his farm and control every step of the process, from planting to post-harvest.

Tarrazu Minor Jiminez is a spectacular example of everything we look for in a Costa Rican coffee. Sweet chocolate flavors similar to a candy bar, punchy lemon-forward citrus, and a creamy mouthfeel all contribute to this especially tasty and unique offering. Look for all of those tingly citrus and smooth cream notes if brewed using filter methods like a pourover, and more sweet chocolate candy flavors in immersion brewers like French Press.

Minor Jiminez’s coffee represents our continuing shift toward more traceable and sustainable year-round coffees. For origins that we stock consistently, like the Tarrazu region of Costa Rica, our goal has always been to develop long-term partnerships with individual smallholder farmers that will allow us to keep these coffees in stock and affordable, while giving the farmer and their family the stability afforded from forward-booking (committing to buying a set amount of their coffee well in advance). The benefit to you, the coffee drinker, is greater transparency into the coffee supply chain, more consistency, and almost always a much higher quality coffee. Relationships like this are difficult to find, but worth the effort! We hope you enjoy Minor’s coffee.
