Costa Rica Jaguar Honey | Dark Roast
The Bold Spirit of the Talamanca Highlands
Experience a coffee that is as powerful and mysterious as its namesake. Sourced from the lush Tres Rios and Tarrazu regions, our Jaguar Honey undergoes a meticulous "Honey" process—where the coffee cherries are de-pulped but dried with the natural fruit mucilage still attached.1
While many honey-processed coffees are roasted light to preserve acidity, we’ve taken this bean into a deep, dark roast to unlock its most decadent characteristics.
Sensory Profile
-
Aroma: A heavy, intoxicating fragrance of toasted molasses, scorched sugar, and a hint of pipe tobacco.
-
Flavor: Deeply resonant notes of dark baker’s chocolate and caramelized brown sugar. As the cup cools, you’ll discover a subtle, jammy undertone of stewed red berries—a signature of the honey process.
-
Body & Mouthfeel: Bold and viscous. It coats the palate with a syrupy, velvety texture that lingers long after the final sip.
-
Finish: A clean, smoky-sweet finish with a touch of roasted walnut.
The Story Behind the Bean
The "Jaguar" project isn't just about world-class flavor; it’s about conservation. This coffee supports efforts to protect Costa Rica’s endangered wild cats and their habitats. By choosing this roast, you are supporting sustainable farming practices that allow the local ecosystem—and the jaguars within it—to thrive.
Roaster's Note: "This is the 'dessert' of dark roasts. The honey processing adds a layer of natural sweetness that prevents the dark roast from becoming bitter, resulting in a cup that is incredibly smooth and intensely rich."
