Here’s a closer look at the exclusive in-season premium single-origin coffee beans currently available at Echelon Brew:
Honey Processed Costa Rican Beans – West Valley, Costa Rica
Region: West Valley
Variety: Caturra, Catuai
Elevation: 1200–1900 MASL
Process: Honey
Tasting Notes: Caramel, tropical fruit, bright acidity, lingering sweetness
Our Honey Processed Costa Rican beans hail from the lush highlands of the West Valley, an area celebrated for producing some of the most vibrant and nuanced coffees in the world. These beans are a true expression of the innovative honey processing method, which allows for the natural sugars of the coffee fruit to impart additional sweetness and complexity to the cup.
Why It’s Special
Honey processing is a technique where the coffee cherries are partially pulped, leaving a layer of mucilage (natural sugars) on the beans as they dry. This method creates a beautiful balance between the acidity and body of the coffee, producing flavors that are bright yet rounded. Expect notes of caramel and tropical fruit, with a juicy, lively acidity that makes every sip refreshing.
The West Valley’s elevation contributes to the slow development of the beans, enhancing their complexity and giving them a distinct, tropical fruit-forward profile with a long, sweet finish. This bean is ideal for those seeking a coffee experience that’s both lively and indulgent.
Perfect Brewing Method: Best suited for pour-over or espresso, as these methods allow the bean’s vibrant acidity and sweetness to shine.
Best Time to Enjoy: These beans are in their peak freshness now, having been roasted and packaged within 90 days of harvest to lock in their exceptional flavors.
Yellow Bourbon – Fazenda Sertão, Brazil
Region: Carmo de Minas, Minas Gerais
Variety: Yellow Bourbon
Elevation: 1100–1400 MASL
Process: Washed
Tasting Notes: Mellow cocoa, malt, mild acidity, gentle sweetness
Our Brazilian Yellow Bourbon is a customer favorite for its rich and smooth profile, offering a balanced cup that’s both accessible and layered with depth. Grown at Fazenda Sertão, a family-owned estate nestled in the rolling hills of Carmo de Minas, this coffee is a testament to Brazil’s reputation for producing high-quality, full-bodied beans.
Why It’s Special
Yellow Bourbon is a rare varietal known for its softer, sweeter flavors compared to its Red Bourbon counterpart. The beans are harvested from trees at an ideal altitude, which encourages slower maturation and deeper flavor development. The washed processing method further enhances its clarity and brightness, delivering a cup with a velvety texture, mellow cocoa undertones, and just a touch of malt. It’s perfect for those who enjoy a balanced brew with subtle complexity.
Perfect Brewing Method: This coffee shines in both pour-over and French press methods, allowing you to enjoy its smooth, clean finish and well-rounded body.
Best Time to Enjoy: Now! These beans are freshly roasted within 90 days of being picked to ensure you experience their full flavor potential.
