The Termico Process
The Termico process is a new, experimental coffee process invented by don Luis Campos of Cordillera de Fuego. The process starts with cherries picked at their ripest, allowing them to have a high sugar content and thus feeding the Termico process. The semi-washed coffee is then heated with some of the coffee mucilage left on the bean. The exposure to the heat starts to breakdown the natural sugars of the coffee cherries, partially caramelizing them. This inventive process gives the coffee an exceptionally sweet and fruity flavor as well as a round and balanced cup.
About Nosara
It‘s no secret that Costa Rica has been discovered by tourists for its impressive rainforests, volcanos, and beaches. Nosara is a gem of a beach town largely untouched by mass tourism. Located on the Pacific side's Nicoya Peninsula, Nosara is surrounded by jungle and notoriously difficult to get to. Those that make the trek to Nosara via unpaved roads are rewarded with pristine beaches ideal for surfing, yoga, or just relaxing. The chill vibes are embodied by a sign that reads, "Bad Roads Bring Good People." While the town of Nosara has basic infrastructure, the coastline is surrounded by wildlife sanctuaries. One such sanctuary is the Nosara Biological Reserve, 90-acre protected area of 300 year old mangroves and over 270 species of wildlife including nesting sea turtles, howler monkeys, and black iguanas. With over half of the region protected from development, native flora and fauna can thrive.
