Story behind the coffee

Don Ivan Candy is a specially processed coffee from Santa Maria, Tarrazú in Costa Rica, grown by Don Ivan Solis on his farm Candy. The coffee is of the Caturra variety, grown at an altitude of 1,800–1,900 meters in clay volcanic soil, which produces a dense, flavorful bean.

This lot has undergone 96 hours of anaerobic fermentation with mucilage (coffee cherry juice), followed by 18 days of drying on African beds. The process gives a clean, winey, and tropical expression with complex layers of flavor.

The roasting is developed by Budhas Coffee Roastery in Sweden, with the help of their Giesen W15 roaster. A roasted profile with an Agtron value of 68.2 – which provides a balanced cup with both fruitiness, sweetness, and chocolatey roundness.

This is how our coffee is made

1. Origin & Farm

Don Ivan Candy comes from the Candy farm, located in Santa Maria, Tarrazú, Costa Rica. The farm is run by Don Ivan Solis and grows Caturra on mineral-rich, clay soil – which gives structure and sweetness to the coffee.

2. Process

This batch is "Candy Natural" – a special process where the cherries are washed, fermented with mucilage for 96 hours under anaerobic conditions, and then dried for 18 days on African beds. The result is a sweet, fruity, and wine-like coffee with a lot of body and low to medium acidity.

3. Roasting & Brewing

Roasted with precision by Budha in a Giesen W15, with an Agtron value of 68.2 for optimal balance. Recommended for manual brewing – for example, V60, Kalita or similar drippers.
