Los Crestones is an area of unique rocky outcroppings in the area of the Chirripó National Park. It is also a region of coffee production adjacent to the parklands, and this lot was a late harvest selection from 1600-1700 meters. This is a small lot, a really a new coffee region that we have never offered before. It might be surprising to some to note how we received this lot. I rejected a Crestones offering earlier in the season, with no general complaint except that I found it boring and it didn't inspire many descriptors. I can't deal with a coffee like that. Any mill, especially a good one like this that separates their lots by producer, by coffee plot, or by mini regions within their growing areas, is going to have variable qualities. Not every coffee can be a winner, even if you do everything right, harvest well, select ripe cherry, process and dry correctly, etc. You will maximize quality for each respective lot, but you can't elevate it beyond the threshold of the coffee shrub's potential, its health, the soil and micro-climate, the organic input factor, and all the other agricultural variables. Anyway, that mill out-turn was plain; this one, late harvest, from a 1600-1700 meter area, arrived so sweet and fabulous it made me do a double take. Was this really Crestones?
