Bursting with citrus, syrupy sweetness, and perfectly balanced cocoa, this year's La Folie is another winner. Clementine meets the palate with punchy brightness before dropping into the rich, caramel-like taste of Maple Syrup. Bakers Chocolate settles in the finish, bringing in a depth of flavor that balances the otherwise sweet cup. This coffee is on the lighter side, with a very approachable profile for anyone familiar with or just getting to know the world of specialty coffee. The La Folie farm has been cultivating coffee for 50 years, meticulously caring for the plants to ensure they produce the highest quality. Mary Anne de Urruela owns the property, but since 2003 the farm has been managed by Luis Pedro Zelaya Zamora. La Folie continues to improve its processing techniques, with the most recent addition being greenhouses for drying.

Tends to give clean, transparent cups where origin character shows clearly. coffee in greenhouses allows it to dry gradually in a controlled environment, and ensures a high level of consistency. Coffee from La Folie is consistently delicious, and we are excited to have it in our lineup.
