Dota – Costa Rica

This anaerobic lot from producer Don Nelsyn is a sort of a wild card coffee for espresso. Very funky and wild with fermented flavours and tropical fruit.

Fatima is a wet mill located in Tobosi in the Cartago province of Costa Rica. Mercurio Industrial is the name of the company owner of the wet mill and also a sister company of Dinant. Mercurio Industrial bought this farm 43 years ago but it was until 2020 that they decided to process specialty coffee, thanks to Nelsyn Hernandez. In 2010 Don Nelsyn, an agronomy engineer, came into the picture, the company hired him to rescue the farm, unfortunately before Don Nelsyn the farm didn’t give its best potential.  Nelsyn focused a lot to give the best farm practices and to take really good care of the plants. Over the years he planted a lot of new varieties in the farm including Bourbon, Villa Sarchi, Geisha and Hybrids. Nowadays he is very happy with the great results the farm has given him after many years of hard work.

He is always looking for new ways to improve and grow the project in a sustainable way. They built in the past 2 years one of the nicest wet-mills and Anaerobic stations in the whole country and now they are also purchasing cherries from other farmers in the community of Dota in order to process more micro lots.

This lot is located in Santa Maria de Dota at 1700 to 1750 masl. It's planted with Catuai and Caturra varieties. Santa Maria de Dota is one of the best-known regions worldwide for great quality coffee. The altitude and climate make the perfect combination to have the best results in the cup.
