Grace Calderón Jiménez grows these Caturra variety trees 1885 meters above sea level on her one-hectare farm near La Piedra de Rivas, Finca El Alto. It is against all odds that we have this coffee to share, for the micro-mill, Los Crestones, is a diamond in the rough in a region that is not generally known for the quality of its coffee. Nevertheless, at these elevations, with limited oxygen and cooler temperatures, the maturation of the cherries is slow, developing the complex acidity and sweetness. <br>Beautiful and complex, with flavors of ripe red papaya, sweet lime, roses, nectarine, vanilla bean and a creamy caramel finish.<br/> <p>Grace Calderón Jiménez grows these Caturra variety trees 1885 meters above sea level on her one-hectare farm near La Piedra de Rivas, Finca El Alto.
