From Momos:
 
"It’s been over a decade since Momos Coffee met Francisco Mena, the owner of an export company that showcases Costa Rican coffees and a producer with her own farm. Over the years, Mena has introduced us to a variety of Costa Rican coffees from different farms. Today’s coffee is from Mena’s own farm. It’s a coffee that starts off with a flavour reminiscent of violet and finishes with a hint of white peach. We recommend you try it.
 
Rested Red Honey Costa Rica is known for successfully establishing and popularising the honey process, and in recent years has introduced a number of different fermentation processes to further enhance the cup profile of its coffees. One of these is the ‘Cherry Reposado’ or ‘Rested’ process, where ripe cherries are placed in perforated plastic buckets and left to ripen in the shade with a cool breeze for 3-4 days. This process helps the sugars in the cherries to be absorbed by the green coffee beans. We then switch to the honey process, where the cascara and pitted cherries are fermented in a large tank with water for another 24 hours, and finally finished by drying on a raised bed for 25 days."
