This specific lot, harvested by Alejo Castro Kahle and his team during the recent peak season, showcases the farm's commitment to push the boundaries of flavor through scientific fermentation and ancestral terroir. The Villasarchi variety is a natural mutation of Bourbon that originated in the nearby West Valley town of Sarchi. It is perfectly adapted to the volcanic soils of the Poás Volcano, known for its elegant acidity and compact structure. In the cup, the Volcán Azul Villasarchi Anaerobic Natural is a sensory powerhouse. Unlike traditional naturals, the anaerobic environment elevates the clarity of the fruit. Expect a heavy, syrupy body with intense notes of purple fruit, a gentle red wine tartness, and dewy berries, balanced by a refined, sparkling acidity. The finish often lingers with a distinct sweetness reminiscent of dark chocolate and tropical fruits. By combining this heritage varietal with meticulous processing, Alejo Castro continues to honor his family’s 200-year legacy while securing Volcán Azul’s place at the top of the global specialty coffee market.
