FLC Coffee is 100% Fincas Las
Colonias Estate coffee.
The conditions are perfect for producing the
finest gourmet coffee...rich volcanic soils,
high elevation, seasonal rainfall, and a cloud
cover in the afternoon to strong shade sun.
Las Colonias is really
exceptional
well-fruited
creamy
refined coffee
It reveals a very clean acidity. The prime
attribute for this coffee is its mild intensity,
great body, and the slightly winey and berry
taste.

Coffee Region: Turrialba
Turrialba is a land of poets, and the
aroma of its coffee is like a poem. The
climate of the Atlantic watershed region and
the eastern Central Valley causes the cherry
to ripen early. Turrialba has a longer rainy
season than other regions, with total
precipitation levels averaging 118 inches over
a 245-day period. Relative humidity is close
to 87.5%.
Given these rainfall and humidity levels, the
coffee beans produced in Turrialba are not as
hard as in other regions, but they grow to a
good size.
The average temperature in Turrialba is 22º C
(72º F); annual sunlight levels average 37.5%
over 1,640 hours. The largest area ruins of an
indigenous culture in the country (Guayabo
National Park) is located in Turrialba.
Altitude: 900 - 1200 m. (aprox. 2,953-3,937
feet)
Acidity: normal
Body: small
Aroma: good
