The farm is operated by multiple generations of the family and places a strong emphasis on sustainability and responsible coffee production. Their micro-mill uses a Penagos ecological processing system designed to reduce water consumption, while cherries are harvested at peak ripeness. The farm is part of AFAORCA, an association of multi-generational coffee farming families in the Tarrazú region that has worked to improve quality, traceability and access to international markets. Finca Lum also maintains soil health through composting, bioferments and regular soil analysis, while incorporating shaded coffee systems and diversified crops to support the surrounding ecosystem. Roaster's Notes Red Honey is a bright and expressive Costa Rican coffee with a silky body and a distinctly floral character. Notes of hibiscus and red fruit bring a crisp, lively acidity, while caramel sweetness adds balance and depth. The cup finishes long and sweet, with persistent floral notes that make this a particularly vibrant and aromatic coffee. Barista's Notes Red Honey really shines as a filter coffee, where the floral and fruit character can fully develop. Look for a crisp, bright cup with hibiscus and red fruit up front, followed by caramel sweetness and a silky texture. As espresso, expect a lively shot with a juicy acidity and a long, sweet finish. A slightly longer extraction can help bring out the caramel sweetness and balance the brighter fruit notes.
