Don Lica Torres

Don Lica Torres cultivates coffee in the Brunca region of Costa Rica, operating within an altitude band of 1500 to 1600 meters. This geographic positioning provides the cool climate conditions necessary for slow cherry maturation. The varietal landscape spans three distinct cultivars, specifically Catuai, Geisha, and SL28, with each variety represented evenly across the available catalog entries. Processing methods center on experimental techniques alongside traditional natural preparation. The catalog highlights two experimental lots and one natural lot, reflecting a focus on post-harvest experimentation. The catalog footprint for Don Lica Torres includes three total coffees represented across one roaster, Black & White Coffee Roasters. The average Cherrybook Index across these lots is 64.8, with all entries currently out of stock. Recent catalog examples illustrate this processing and varietal diversity. They include the Lica Torres Natural SL28 processed as a natural, the Lica Torres Black Cherry Gesha featuring the Geisha variety under an experimental process, and the Lica Torres Black Cherry Natural utilizing Catuai with an experimental treatment. All three lots are roasted by Black & White Coffee Roasters. The work of Don Lica Torres in the index is characterized by a focused selection of rare and standard varieties paired with experimental processing methods from the Brunca region.
