What Coffee Beans Are Suitable for Pour-Over Coffee | Guatemala La Minita Flor de Cafe Pearls with Floral Aroma

FrontStreet Coffee - La Minita La Flor Peaberry Introduction

The Geographical Environment of La Minita Estate

Hacienda La Minita is located in the famous Tarrazu region of Costa Rica. Due to the estate's excellent geographical environment and microclimate, La Minita's beans have a more balanced and aromatic flavor compared to other coffees from the Tarrazu region.

Out of La Minita's total cultivated area of 1,200 acres, 680 acres are currently under cultivation. Of the remaining 520 acres, 200 acres in the southern part of the estate serve as a natural forest protection zone where coffee tree cultivation is prohibited. The plantation runs east-west, bordered by the Tarrazu River to the south and the Alumbre River to the north. These two rivers converge at the western ridge where the estate is located. The soil consists of grayish-white, yellow-brown, and light-red clay rich in organic matter. Some areas of the estate reach an altitude of 1,830 meters, but the central region ranges between 1,250-1,650 meters.

Despite differences in altitude and temperature, fortunately, the large rivers surrounding the estate create a cooling effect that minimizes these variations. Additionally, the farm faces west, allowing for gradual warming in the morning and slow cooling in the evening. This unique geographical environment creates exceptionally favorable conditions.
