Description

process
ripe Milenio cherries were harvested at optimal maturity, above 24° Brix, then partially sterilised to reduce the natural microbial load. the coffee was placed in fermentation tanks with a selected culture of lactic acid bacteria, isolated from coffee itself, encouraging the conversion of natural sugars into lactic acid. finished as a washed process, this method balances vibrant acidity, complexity, and the clean character of the Milenio variety.

producer
Tributos del Ota is led by Jose Enrique Romero Chacón and his family at Finca Don Joaquin in Costa Rica’s Dota valley. the micromill began in 2017, building on more than 40 years of family farming experience, with each family member contributing to cherry quality, processing, and long-term improvements in sustainability, innovation, and specialty coffee production.
