Costa Rica Cup of Excellence 2009
Some good prices fetched at yesterday's Costa Rica Cup of Excellence auction, where all of the 24 lots on offer sold for over $5/lb, showing that the world recession doesn't stop roasters and retailers dipping their hands in their pockets for some world beating coffees.
Many of the Top 10 lots were last seen heading towards Japan or Norway (the latter always deserves credit for being one of the leading lights in Europe for high quality, specialty coffees.) So, with the help of the good people at Mercanta "The Coffee Hunters" we managed to share some of Lot 11 - from Carlos Ureña Ceciliano and his La Píra farm. This farm itself is situated near the city of Santa Maria de Dota in the famous Tarrazú region of Costa Rica.
Once shipped, we hope to see this coffee at the Roastery in the next month or so.
