ROASTER’S CHOICE NOVEMBER 2025

DOTA, COSTA RICA

Origin: Costa Rica
Region: Tarrazu
Varietal: Caturra, Catuai
Process: Washed

This month, we return to Costa Rica for our Roaster’s Choice. Sourced from the same cooperative of smallholder farmers that produce our Hermosa coffee, this particular lot once again showcases the remarkable brightness and balance of Costa Rican coffees.

Based in the small town of Santa Maria at the centre of the coffee-growing region of Tarrazu, the Dota coop was the first in the world to be certified as carbon neutral, back in 2011. For the past 20 years, the coop has also run a training school that teaches 17 and 18 years olds about every aspect of the industry, from coffee cultivation to barista skills.

This washed coffee offers a bright, crisp and complex profile with gentle acidity. Notes of pecan, apricot, and honey bring a layered sweetness, finishing smooth and silky on the palate.

We recommend pairing with: Maple & pecan slice

CONTAINS:

500g or 1kg coffee every month, hand-selected and roasted by Claire

How long does the coffee last?

Typically, the coffee you’ll receive will have been roasted within 10 days. We recommend the coffee be consumed within 5 weeks (although it can still taste great after this).
What grind should I choose?

Typically, fine grind is for espresso machines however, for low pressure machines like SMEG, Dualit and the smaller Sage machines we recommend medium grind. All other brewing equipment like Cafetiere, Moka Pot, Aeropress, V60 are best with medium grind. Please get in touch if you are having issues with the grind.
