How Costa Rica - La Lia "Red Honey SL28" tastes.
A small plot of SL28 in Tarrazu.
La Lia is a farm and micro mill that has been in the Monge family for almost 70 years. Luis and Oscar took over production in 2008 and named the mill after their mother. Seven plots climb to 2,100 metres, where cherry ripens slowly and builds sugar, and every lot is kept apart by plot, cultivar and picking date. The same picking families come back each harvest.
Make the most of it.
Koppi roast this lot on the date shown on the size chip, and the cut-off to be on that batch is 22 November. The beans reach us about a week after the roast and your bag ships that same week, so it lands with you around the two-to-three-week mark, when these beans drink best. Grind just before you brew.
Roasted by Koppi.
Costa Rica - La Lia "Red Honey SL28" is roasted by Koppi and imported by Bean Shipper. We bring in guest roasters when a lot reaches cup quality we can't source any other way. Order by the date on the size chip to be on the batch; the beans reach us about a week later and your bag ships that same week, inside the window this coffee drinks best in.

How fresh is the coffee when it arrives?+
The date beside the size is when Koppi roast this lot, and the cut-off to join that batch is 22 November. The beans reach us about a week after the roast, and your bag ships in the week that follows the roast date, which puts it with you around the two-to-three-week mark, when these beans drink best. Once it ships from us, Peninsular Malaysia orders arrive within 2 days.
When is the coffee at its best?+
Beans need about 5 to 7 days to degas, then hold their peak from 7 to 30 days after the roast date printed on the bag. Keep the bag sealed, somewhere dark and room-temperature — never in the fridge.
How does the subscription work?+
