This special coffee comes to us from the Cuatro Hermanas or 4 sisters who produce amazing small lots of coffee and help manage the renowned La Candelilla Micro Mill. This year’s microlot offers delicious notes of cane sugar, grapefruit and pineapple.
This is one of our special direct sourced coffees from La Candelilla. Elsa, Luisa, Miriam, and Ana all contribute to what makes this special mill in the Tarrazu region of San Jose Costa Rica so incredible. The family consists of 7 in total all having their own land to cultivate coffee (4 sisters and 3 brothers – all of whom are 3rd generation coffee producers). The micro-mill and coffee farms are located on the land where the family grew up in Tarrazu. In the summer nights you can see many fireflies that are called in Spanish “Candelillas” (Luciérnagas). Due to the incredible number of them, a great uncle named the place La Candelilla. “We are motivated by the love our parents have for coffee production and the desire to transfer all that passion to our children.” – Las Hermanas
I was expecting so much more. I don't have anything bad to say about this coffee nor do i have anything good to say.It did taste like coffee but lacked clarity. if you like a more mellow coffee i could maybe recommend this. But even then, the fruity flavors were just not there.

Perfect Roast, Flavor Forward
More perfectly roasted coffee from Magnolia. How important is roasting? For specialty coffee it's everything. You can't 'dial in' flavor notes with a bad roast. This 4 Hermanas is a true specialty coffee. All notes present in a great pour over cup. Thanks again Magnolia.

Quite Good!
This one has been growing on me a bit.. not quite the intricacy or depth of flavor (my super amateur way of trying to describe it at least..) of another Costa Rica I tried from this company but still a pretty smooth, fruity, and friendly cup of coffee..

Great coffee, makes a delicious pour over at an approachable price point
Quality beans and expertly roasted as always from magnolia, enjoyed some tasty pour overs with this one. Only problem is it was gone too quickly :)

Another delicious coffee from Magnolia. I'm not a connoisseur by any means, but for reference, I like chocolatey coffees like Josh's Grateful Blend, and this was also pleasant to me. I make it in a french press and have it with almond milk and splenda.
