Costa Rica SHB Tarrazu Asoproaaa Parritilla

Tastes Like: Blackberry  Grape  Dark Chocolate  Black Tea
 
This coffee was grown and harvested by farmer Mora Memo at the Finca Parritilla, which has been in the family for thirty five years.  The Tarrazu area where the farm is located is renowned for producing some of the finest coffees in Costa Rica, and is a sanctuary for native flora and fauna.  Mora Memo's farm follows sustainable production methods to continue the conservation efforts of the area.  The Tarrazu region is known for well defined wet and dry seasons, which aids in the development of fine coffee, which is fundamental to the livelihoods of the local producers.
 
Finca Parritilla is a member of the ASOPROAAA Cooperative, which was developed after Hurricane Mitch in 1998 to help get coffee farmers back into production and promote sustainable practises after their crops were devastated.  Today the cooperative represents over 1000 smallhold farmers and is recognised internationally for producing great coffees, including winning a Cup of Excellent competition, directly benefiting its members financially.
