<h4>History</h4> <p class="p1">We have been working with Jorge Vasquez since 2020. His farm is just outside San José, in the highlands of Aserrí in Costa Rica’s Tarrazú region, lies Finca Cedral Alto, meaning ’high cedar grove’. Together with the Roble Negro mill, this 22.5-hectare landscape is shaped by primary forests, thoughtful reforestation, and crystal-clear natural springs. Set between the Pacific and the Central Valley at elevations of 1750–2000 meters, it provides an idyllic environment for cultivating exceptional coffee. In the cup, expect an elegant balance of crisp apple, warm brown sugar sweetness, and a soft, nutty finish.</p> <p class="p1">We’re now had the great opportunity to visit the Roble Negro<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>wet mill on three separate occasions and even have some members of the team visit us here in Copenhagen in summer last year for World of Coffee. From this, we can clearly see that Jorge’s Roble Negro wet mill is one which has high quality standards and thoughtful sustainability practices.</p> <h4>Specifications<br/> </h4> <table style="height: 137.157px;" width="100%"> <tbody> <tr style="height: 19.5938px;"> <td style="height: 19.5938px;"><span>country</span></td> <td style="height: 19.5938px;"><span>costa rica</span></td> </tr> <tr style="height: 19.5938px;"> <td style="height: 19.5938px;"> <meta charset="utf-8"/> <span>region</span> </td> <td style="height: 19.5938px;"><span><meta charset="utf-8"/>tarrazú</span></td> </tr> <tr style="height: 19.5938px;"> <td style="height: 19.5938px;"><span>producer</span></td> <td style="height: 19.5938px;"> <meta charset="UTF-8"/> <span>jorge vasquéz ureña - roble negro</span> </td> </tr> <tr style="height: 19.5938px;"> <td style="height: 19.5938px;"> <meta charset="utf-8"/> <span>variety</span> </td> <td style="height: 19.5938px;"><span><meta charset="utf-8"/>yellow catuai</span></td> </tr> <tr style="height: 19.5938px;"> <td style="height: 19.5938px;"> <meta charset="utf-8"/> <span>process</span> </td> <td style="height: 19.5938px;">washed</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 19.5938px;"> <td style="height: 19.5938px;"> <meta charset="utf-8"/> <span>altitude</span> </td> <td style="height: 19.5938px;"><span>1800 masl</span></td> </tr> <tr style="height: 19.5938px;"> <td style="height: 19.5938px;">tasting notes</td> <td style="height: 19.5938px;"> <meta charset="utf-8"/> <meta charset="utf-8"/> <span>creamy, almond praline, stone fruit</span><br/> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p><br/><br/></p>
