Costa Rica Tarrazu Coffee Beans

Costa Rica's coffee acids are incredibly clean and refreshing - in fact, that's precisely what makes a Costa Rica cup sing.

Combined with wonderfully thick toffee and a hint of nut, caramel and chocolate, it's a combination that works remarkably well.

The fruit elements are subtle, yet they offer more than enough complexity in the finish to round a cup off perfectly.

We enjoyed this coffee in milk-based espresso. It's immensely satisfying on just about every level.

You can easily drink this as a black - the sweet acids make it delicious.

Body : medium

Aroma : hazelnut and toasted caramel

Acidity : grape, citric-apple

Flavor : mixed berries, toffee, chocolate, very sweet

Rich, sweet, unique.

Costa Rica has always set a benchmark for coffee farming excellence and matched perhaps only by Kenyan farmers in their care and attention to quality.

Historically, coffee played a significant role in building Costa Rica's domestic economy.

Costa Rica aims to remain the quality leader against the competing Central American origins of Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua and El Salvador.

Whilst all the other Central American coffee-producing countries have significantly lower cost structures and price advantages, it only drives Costa Rica to compete strongly on quality, not price.

Why Costa Rica is a clear leader in coffee quality

An early innovator in segregating quality lots, Costa Rica grades coffees by separating and isolating the best rates.

All these extra efforts enable Costa Rica to market superb, traceable estate coffees to a vast and growing demand from coffee roasters worldwide.

Costa Rica also pioneered many different processing methods.

One of these processing methods -"honeyed"' - is now used at many other coffee-growing origins to help produce cleaner, sweeter coffees.

Taste is king

A good Costa Rican coffee will be sweet, clean and bright in the cup.

Many coffee roasters find this combination, and specifically the brightness, desirable.

However, these days, with the high prices commanded by Costa Rica coffees, only some roasters can afford to use Costa Rica coffees in their blends.

The largest segment for quality Costa Rican coffee is the single-origin market, just like our JustFreshRoasted store.

Costa Rica coffees are great in milk-based espresso, where the clean, lively acids match beautifully to the milk in a flat white cappuccino or latte.

Costa Rica produces a rich toffee, caramel and milk chocolate beverage.

We love how Costa Rica coffee produces clean, sparkling acids that dance on your palate.
