La Isabela is an exceptional microlot produced by Max Salazar Rodríguez, a third-generation coffee farmer in Costa Rica's West Valley. Grown between 1,700 and 1,800 meters above sea level, this Sudan Rume benefits from a carefully managed environment, with native shade, combined fertilization, and harvesting during the dry season for optimal ripening.

This batch has undergone a Thermal Shock process, a technique that enhances fruit expression through precise temperature control after fermentation. The result is an intense, clean, and deeply aromatic cup.

On the palate, a tropical and juicy profile dominates, with layers of fresh strawberry, bright kiwi, mango, and ripe peach. The natural sweetness combines with a lively acidity and a silky texture that makes each sip vibrant and modern.

Max and his team's dedication is reflected not only in the sensory quality of the coffee, but also in their environmental commitment: the farm participates in the Blue Flag Ecological program, adopting sustainable practices and innovative processes to face the challenges of climate change.

A technical, complex, and vibrant café.
