Costa Rica San Diego Anaerobic

The fresh ground aromas sparkle with hints of fresh apple, honey, and blondie brownies. Tasting notes of crisp apple, brown sugar, subtle spice and grapefruit. The anaerobic processing of this coffee yields complex notes like white wine and red cherry; it’s an overall exceptionally clean cup with juicy grapefruit acidity.

Roast Level: Medium / light

Beneficio San Diego, Costa Rica’s most advanced mill founded in 1888, specializes in high-quality coffees from smallholders in the Tarrazú and Tres Ríos regions. Their anaerobic process begins with handpicked, ultra-ripe cherries, then ferments them in sealed stainless steel tanks to encourage complex lactic and malic acids. The result is a coffee with layered, distinctive flavors crafted through precise, sustainable, and community-focused production.
