Costa Rica Tarrazu Don Eli "Tomodachi "

A new lot, “Tomodachi,” has arrived from Don Eli, a farm gaining increasing attention in the specialty coffee world in recent years.

Located in Tarrazú (Los Santos region), one of Costa Rica's most renowned coffee-growing areas, Don Eli sits at an elevation of around 1,900 meters, where rich volcanic soil nourishes exceptional coffee.

Carlos, the owner of Don Eli, shifted his focus from quantity to quality after experiencing the volatility of the coffee market. Together with his son Jacob, he has turned that vision into reality. Their family-run operation carefully manages every step — from cultivation to processing — resulting in consistently outstanding lots each year.

This particular lot, “Tomodachi,” is processed using a unique Double Fermentation method. First, the whole cherries undergo a 3-day fermentation in tanks. After depulping, the coffee is fermented once more for another 3 days. This delicate two-stage fermentation process brings out rich sweetness and complex flavors.

The cup features a soft, rounded sweetness reminiscent of almonds, layered with raisin-like richness and a bright, refreshing acidity similar to orange.

We invite you to experience the refined flavors of Don Eli's “Tomodachi,” a beautiful expression of Costa Rican craftsmanship.
