INTRO
Orange County is one of those coffees that DAK fell in love with at first sip. An exceptional natural Red Catuai from Finca Voo in Costa Rica's legendary Tarrazú region, it offers a remarkably clean natural profile — vibrant with blood orange brightness, earthy rhubarb complexity, and a long white honey finish. For a natural, the clarity here is extraordinary.
THE PRODUCER
Ivan Solis farms Finca Voo at between 1,960 and 2,000 MASL in Tarrazú — one of the highest and most prestigious growing regions in Costa Rica. The extreme altitude slows cherry development, concentrating sugars and building the structural complexity that makes Tarrazú coffees so sought after internationally.
Costa Rica has long been known for its meticulous post-harvest processing, and Finca Voo exemplifies this tradition. Ivan's decision to process the Red Catuai as a natural — unusual for the region, where washed coffees have historically dominated — reflects both confidence in the raw material and careful control of the drying environment at altitude.
THE PROCESS
The Natural process at Finca Voo involves:
- 🍒 Selective Harvest — Ripe Red Catuai cherries hand-picked at full maturity
- ✅ Sorting — Cherries floated and sorted to remove defects before drying
- ☀️ Raised Bed Drying — Whole cherries dried slowly on raised beds at high altitude, allowing fruit sugars to concentrate and infuse the bean
- 📅 Extended Resting — Careful monitoring of moisture content throughout the drying period to achieve consistency
The high altitude and careful drying regime produce a natural with exceptional clarity — fruit-forward and sweet, yet without the fermented heaviness that lesser naturals can carry.
THE CUP
Orange County is a vivid, sunlit cup. Blood orange brightness opens the palate, followed by the tart earthiness of rhubarb and settling into a long, clean white honey sweetness. For a natural processed coffee, the clarity and cleanliness here are remarkable — this is a filter coffee that converts sceptics of the natural style.
