Archers - Cafe Rivense - Costa Rica - Black Honey

Tasting notes: Plum, Molasses, Cherry, Baker’s Chocolate

Café Rivense Black Honey is a Catuai lot from the Ureña Rojas family in Chirripó, San José, grown at 1,800 metres. The family pioneered micro-mill processing in the Upper Buenavista Catchment, gaining direct control over quality and creating room to explore how individual varieties and microclimates respond to different post-harvest methods.

Café Rivense’s micro-lot system supports traceability and allows feedback to be connected to a specific plot, variety and process. Here, anaerobic fermentation is incorporated into the black honey method to reveal a deeper, wine-like dimension. Plum and cherry fruit meet molasses and baker’s chocolate in a rich cup suited to filter or espresso.
