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.
