We’re on a mission to expand minds, broaden palates, and build relationships through coffee. Methodical set out to build a company to foster connections, to expand your palate with flavor profiles you can’t wait to share with your friends, all while staying in touch with our roots and values that raised us. We started roasting coffee in 2016 and have fallen in love with the path it has taken us down ever since.
La Pastora
Origin: Costa Rica
Producer: Coop Tarrazu
Elevation: 1200 – 1900 masl
Process: Washed
Variety: Caturra & Catuai
Tasting Notes: Almond, Gingersnap, Plum
La Pastora is the Costa Rican coffee you talk about when you talk about Costa Rican coffee. This washed coffee is approachable, clean, and classic with a juicy twist. With just enough nuttiness to temper the syrupy, plummy sweetness, the La Pastora is the perfect subject for whichever brew method has your fancy.
La Pastora caught our attention at the cupping table with its uniform flavor, attributed to the singular soil quality of the San Jose province of Costa Rica, and the processing methods that CoopeTarrazu employs. Sedimentary soil composition encourages coffee crops toward a distinct acidity, and this rich mountain soil creates a complex fruit to be harvested and processed by CoopeTarrazú. The co-op represents over 3,500 partners in the province, and is committed to the welfare of those partners and their communities. We roast their coffee to bring out its syrupy, balanced character, finding gingersnap, almond, and plum in the cup.
