Pawtucket, RI (November 12, 2024) — Downeast Coffee Roasters, a family-owned company with a rich heritage spanning over 70 years, is thrilled to announce the latest drop from our Downeast Limited Release Series: Costa Rica Espiritu San Luis. This extraordinary coffee showcases our dedication to exceptional taste and quality, as well as our commitment to sharing the stories and methods of the producers we work with around the world.
Finca Espiritu San Luis, situated in Costa Rica’s West Valley, is the product of two siblings’ innovation and dedication. Magali and Alexander Delgado, the masterminds behind the farm, have elevated the quality of their coffee through the cultivation of prestigious varietals and meticulous processing methods. This limited release will highlight their esteemed SL-28 varietal, which, after a distinctive anaerobic fermentation process, results in a complex, fruit-forward coffee with intense flavors and vibrant acidity.
