Costa Rica - Principe Azul — Special Release Filter Roast Single Origin CoffeeYellow Honey

ArchivedSpecial release
Sale price$25.00

The family focuses on quality and experimentation, with careful separation of lots and processing carried out right at their home mill. Freshly harvested cherries are depulped and dried first on raised beds, then moved to covered patios and turned regularly until perfectly dried. The Yellow Honey process leaves a touch of mucilage on the beans, creating sweetness and complexity in the cup.

Process & care

Our sourcing philosophy

Every coffee has a story. Every cup connects people. Sourcing coffee is not just about logistics and contracts. It’s about people, patience, and purpose. Every bag of green coffee represents someone’s work, someone’s story, and a shared pursuit of excellence.

Our relationships are built at Origin. We create partnerships built on respect, shared goals, and good coffee. We believe the best coffees come from long-term partnerships. Many of our producers have worked with us for years, refining the characteristics of the coffee we seek.These relationships are built on mutual respect and open communication. Travelling to visit our producing partners is key to nurturing relationships that matter.
Consistency and quality

From origin to roastery, every step is about consistency. Every shipment we receive is cupped and compared against its pre-ship sample to confirm that the coffee matches the quality and profile we expect. It’s a process that demands time and focus, but it’s what ensures every batch of Deluca coffee delivers on flavour and reliability.
