Still tastes like coffee.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is a honey processed Red Catuai from Chutas Farm, a family farm in the mountains of Costa Rica. If you have ever been handed a \"fruity\" coffee that tasted thin and sour, this is the one that fixes that idea for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe cup leads with strawberry and raspberry, with a berry aroma and a soft cherry note underneath. The body is where it wins, though — juicy and silky, with enough sweetness to carry the fruit instead of leaving it sharp. Bright, but nothing about it is harsh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHoney processing is why. Washed coffee strips all the fruit off the bean before drying. Natural coffee dries with the whole cherry on. Honey splits the difference: the skin comes off, the sticky sweet layer stays, and the coffee dries with it. You get the fruit and sweetness of a natural with the clean finish of a washed. It is more work and more risk for the producer, which is why you mostly see it from small mills that care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eJesús Montero owns and operates Chutas Farm. The cherry is processed a short distance away at Tío Juan Micromill, run by Juan Rafael Montero Gamboa — same family, and one of the reasons a lot this small stays traceable from tree to bag instead of disappearing into a regional blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eI buy this through Pablo, who handles US sales for his family's coffee. Not a warehouse listing and not a mystery lot — one conversation with someone whose family name is on the farm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEvery bag is small-batch clean-roasted, packed fresh, and marked with a roast date. On a lot this delicate that is not a nice-to-have — the strawberry and silk are the first things to disappear in coffee that has been sitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis is the bag I hand to people who say they don't like fruity coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTastes Like\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Strawberry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Raspberry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Red fruit and cherry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Juicy, silky body\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Sweet, clean finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBest Brewing Styles\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGreat for pour-over, drip coffee makers, and French press.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePour-over is where this coffee shows off — the clarity lets the strawberry and cherry separate out. Drip gets you most of the way there with none of the fuss. French press gives you a heavier, jammier cup if you want the body to lead. I would skip cold brew on this one; the fruit you paid for gets muted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eYou get a genuinely fruity
