Tiesto – Anaerobic Fermented Coffee

Tiesto is Coffee Balam’s most distinctive coffee and highest-scoring specialty offering. Produced on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula using a traditional Matambú approach, these fermented coffee beans rest for five days in sealed anaerobic barrels before being sun-dried.

That process traces back to local Chorotega traditions surrounding coyol wine, a fermented beverage long tied to the region’s culture and craft. The result is a layered, fruit-forward cup with wine-like richness, bright acidity, and notes of chocolate, blueberry, blackberry, citrus, and honey.

Tiesto was created to celebrate and carry that story forward through coffee, and 5% of every sale supports the Committee for the Culture and Preservation of Matambugueño Traditions.
