If you've been around the Glee traps awhile, you'll know this coffee! Alejo Castro is a fifth generation coffee grower (kind of coffee royalty!) Volcan Azul farm located in the Central Valley region of Costa Rica, near the Poas Volcano. The coffee beans from Volcan Azul are known for their exceptional quality, due to the farm's unique microclimate, rich volcanic soil and processing methods. The coffee plants are shade-grown, which helps to preserve the delicate flavours of the beans and protect them from the harsh sun.

The flavour profile of Volcan Azul coffee is characterized by bright acidity, melon fruit notes, and a smooth texture. 

We love this coffee cos’: The volcanic soil at Volcan Azul creates a bunch of unique and intense results in the cup, and we're fans. We’re kinda intense about coffee, if you haven’t noticed. 😏
