The Arabica “Obatá”
Fruity notes included.
We are real Obatá fans. It is not without reason that we grow this variety in large quantities on our finca. Compared to the very balanced Red Catuai, the Obatá is much more distinctive and has a lot of character, or as Diego Jr. would say:
“A real badass coffee.”
When you try it, you will understand what Diego means.
Other Bombastico coffee made from Obatá:
“Anaerobic Natural”
attracts hidden aromas from the coffee bean.
In anaerobic fermentation, the coffee is fermented in a barrel without oxygen under controlled conditions to enhance existing exotic flavors.
The coffee is cleaned and fermented as a whole fruit in this barrel for a certain number of hours or days.
It is then completely dried in the sun. Our gentle roasting turns it into the perfect Thrilla Papilla No 5, which creates a sensation in the cup.

Preparation recommendation
For a cup of really good coffee, the preparation is at least as important as the care of the coffee plants, the hand harvesting, the processing and roasting of the green coffee. All of our Thrilla Papillas from 01 to 05 are pure filter coffees.
We achieved excellent results with the Aeropress. The Chemex or a traditional hand filter, eg from Hario, can also extract excellent aromas from the coffee beans and provide just as complex a taste experience as a filter machine, eg from Mokkamaster, Poursteady or Bunn.
For these preparation methods we recommend the following brew ratios (ml brewed coffee / g weight):
Aeropress: 13 to 17 - Chemex: 14 to 16
Moccamaster: 15 to 17 – Hario V60: 16 to 19

The Finca Los Diegos.
In such a beautiful place, only a delicious coffee can be created:
The Finca Los Diegos, at the foot of the Poas volcano in the Central Valley near San José. The best soil and the best climate on 66 hectares, including around 22 hectares of protected natural jungle. Run by a great team of real partners.
The microlot “El Guachipelin” is an extreme place. Here the plants are exposed to extreme tropical storms.
Through consistent good nutrition and professionally correct pruning, very robust and productive plants have developed. You can taste that these conditions shape the character.
