Tarrazu Natural – Minor Jimenez

We are excited to offer another coffee from our longtime partner, Minor Jimenez! This companion to our year-round Tarrazu offering is naturally processed, highlighting big fruit flavors while keeping its classic Costa Rican nature intact. Minor’s family farm handles all milling and processing, which lets him control every step of the process for maximum quality.

Look for big strawberry notes and creamy vanilla, like Neapolitan ice cream. While this coffee performs well in all brew methods, filter brewers like pourover and drip really highlight its fruit flavors.

Minor’s Story

Minor Jimenez is a down to earth family man who is extremely passionate about quality coffee. Together with his wife and extended family, they founded and operate La Cumbre which is both a wet mill and coffee roaster. Minor has been surrounded by coffee his entire life – coming from a prominent growing family in the renowned Tarrazu region. He has always found a deep love and appreciation for coffee and the yearning for taking it to new levels. The young family became craftsmen of their product, starting both a processing station as well as a local roastery. First, pulping their fruit with neighbors and drying the parchment next to their house, but today they have finally established their own micro mill.
