Farm and Producer

Alejo Castro is the fifth generation descendant of renowned coffee pioneers Alejo C. Jimenez and Wilhelm Kahle. Alejo's ancestors planted some of the first specialty coffee plantations in the early 1900s with the aim to produce the best coffee in the world. With over 200 years of family tradition in trading specialty coffee, Alejo's mission for the farm has been exclusively focused on improving coffee quality while making a positive impact on the environment. The highly fertile volcanic soil combined with the mill's impeccable processing methods has produced a history of award-winning coffees in Costa Rica. This coffee from Volcan Azul has a balanced profile with juicy fruit flavours and high sweetness.

Variety

Milenio is a first-generation hybrid developed from T5296 and Rume Sudan. Its breeding combines agronomic performance with cup-quality potential, providing a different genetic starting point from traditional varieties.

Processing

Honey processing removes the cherry skin while retaining some mucilage, the sticky fruit layer around the seed, during drying. No honey is added: the name refers to that retained fruit material, which can influence sweetness and texture.
