Costa Rica Natural — Bryan Rivera Ureña

León Cortés, Tarrazú | Bourbon | 1900 masl

This natural Bourbon from León Cortés is produced by Bryan Rivera Ureña, a dedicated grower working in the high elevations of Costa Rica’s Tarrazú region. At 1900 meters above sea level, cool mountain nights and bright daytime sun create the perfect conditions for slow cherry maturation; building structure, sweetness, and vibrant fruit clarity.

The cup is expressive yet composed, a fruit-forward natural that leans elegant rather than wild. Expect a bright, layered experience: fresh cherry leads the way, followed by crisp red apple sweetness and a lively orange lift. There’s a gentle cane sugar warmth underneath it all, giving the fruit shape and balance without overshadowing its clarity. It’s polished, transparent, and refreshingly clean — proof that natural processing, when handled with care, can showcase both vibrancy and refinement.

This lot highlights the character of Bourbon grown at high elevation: structured acidity, refined sweetness, and a silky texture. Rather than pushing into heavy jam or deep cocoa, this coffee stays bright and lifted, more fresh orchard fruit than dessert.

It’s a natural that feels intentional and precise, celebrating origin and cultivar as much as processing style.

Audience:

For coffee drinkers who love fruit-forward cups with clarity and balance. This is a natural for those who enjoy vibrant cherry and citrus notes without overwhelming fermentation or heaviness. Best enjoyed as a pour over, where its brightness, structure, and layered sweetness truly shine.
