The 715 Costa Rica Don Eli YABAI is the definitive result of the "World Champion Series." It is a deep collaboration between the Moreno family, Tri-Up Coffee, and World Brewers Cup Champion Tetsu Kasuya. The Montero family has cultivated coffee in the Tarrazú region for three generations, and this specific lot represents their shift toward experimental, high-quality micro-lots. The name "YABAI" is Japanese slang for something incredible or "insane." It reflects the push to create a profile with extreme complexity and clarity through innovative post-harvest techniques.
The palate is characterized by an intense, concentrated sweetness that mirrors tropical and autumnal fruit. It offers prominent notes of dried pineapple and baked apple, which transition into a rich finish of almond chocolate and raisins. Despite the boldness of the anaerobic natural process, the acidity remains light and lively. It provides a juicy, round mouthfeel with a subtle hint of brown spices on the finish. It is a highly articulate coffee that showcases a syrupy viscosity while maintaining the refined elegance expected of a world-competition-grade selection.

Our Coffee Addicts Promise
We’re passionate about fresh, flavourful coffee and we know you are too. For the best taste, enjoy your coffee within approximately 6 weeks of the roast date.
Coffee naturally oxidizes slowly over time, but it can still be enjoyed beyond this window. Any beans older than six weeks from roast are clearly marked and automatically discounted, giving you a great value on quality coffee.
