Description

Our coffee beans from Costa Rica represent a pinnacle of quality and distinction in the world of specialty coffee. Renowned for their bright acidity, well-balanced flavor profile, and exceptional Arabica varieties, Costa Rican beans are a testament to the country’s commitment to producing some of the finest coffees on the global stage.

Costa Rican coffee is primarily cultivated in high-altitude regions, with many plantations located in areas like the Central Valley, West Valley, Tarrazú, and the renowned Brunca region. The altitude, coupled with rich volcanic soils, contributes significantly to the unique characteristics of Costa Rican coffee beans. One of the defining features of Costa Rican coffee is its pronounced acidity. The high-altitude cultivation allows the beans to develop a crisp, lively acidity that is often likened to the acidity found in citrus fruits. This brightness adds a refreshing quality to the cup, making Costa Rican coffee a favorite among those who appreciate a clean and vibrant flavor profile.

Costa Rican coffees are typically characterized by a medium body and a well-balanced sweetness. The beans often exhibit notes of tropical fruits such as citrus, as well as floral and nutty undertones. This combination creates a cup that is both nuanced and accessible, appealing to a broad range of coffee enthusiasts. The Arabica varietals cultivated in Costa Rica, including Typica, Bourbon, and Geisha, showcase the country’s commitment to producing high-quality beans. The careful cultivation and harvesting practices, often involving handpicking only the ripest cherries, contribute to the superior quality of Costa Rican coffee. The country’s dedication to sustainability and environmentally friendly practices further enhances the appeal of Costa Rican coffee.

Many coffee farms in Costa Rica embrace shade-grown and organic farming methods, ensuring the longevity of their coffee plants and the health of the surrounding ecosystems. Our Costa Rica coffee embodies a commitment to excellence, from the lofty mountain slopes to the hands of skilled farmers. The result is a cup of coffee that not only reflects the unique terroir of Costa Rica but also stands as a shining example of the country’s contribution to the world of specialty coffee.
