The Origin

The Union de Cafetaleros from Lot61 Originates from Costa Rica.

In 2006 nine coffee producers in San Isidro de León Cortez decided to start their own Micro-mill and founded Union de Cafetaleros de San Isidro (UNDECAF).

El Roble, the name of the mill, and connected farms are located high up in the region of Tarrazú.

Twenty three families are working to make UNDECAF and El Roble into a vibrant community.

Many children from the farmers work on the mill where they can learn about coffee processing and administration of the company.

The lots from the mill have lots of sweetness, paired with a delicate complexity.

With an increase in micro mills around 20 years ago, Costa Rican coffee is extremely traceable, right back to the exact farm or lot.

That said, it is now possible to highlight flavours from a particular crop that may have otherwise been diluted.

Honey processed coffee has also played a huge role in the Costa Rican coffee culture with many farmers adopting this method to produce more interesting coffee’s.

How We Review Coffee?

We receive coffees from roasters throughout the UK to taste and review. All of our coffee reviews are our own words and thoughts, we don’t receive any form of payment for any of our reviews.

Our coffee reviews always start with an introduction to each independent coffee roaster.

At Batch, we are all about celebrating the incredibly talented roasters that we have in the UK and telling their stories. Each one roasting the coffee slightly different.

We then explore the origin of the coffee and take a look at where the coffee has been grown and the process that it has gone through once it has been picked.

Every coffee growing origin has a different set of characteristics when it comes to the final cup, whether it’s fruity and floral or chocolatey and full the origin of speciality coffee is always celebrated.

The last part of our coffee review is what we tasted in the coffee. Speciality coffee has some incredible flavour notes (more than wine), some dark and rich while others on the opposite end of the flavour spectrum are light and fruity, we try and explain what we taste in the coffee however like with many complex tasting foods or drinks it is also down to perception and personal opinion.

So if we have tasted orange zest and you get watermelon then that is brilliant and what we think speciality coffee is all about (as long as you like the coffee).

We then score the coffee on attributes like body, aroma, sweetness and flavour. Some of the coffees you may then find in our coffee club voted the best coffee subscription in the UK by the Independent.
