Costa Rica

Roast: Medium

Tasting Notes: Cocoa, Toasted Almond, Golden Sugar

The Grind & The Origin The Central Valley of Costa Rica is the historic heart of the country’s coffee culture. Surrounded by three major volcanoes—Irazú, Barva, and Poás—the soil here is enriched with minerals that provide a perfect foundation for specialty coffee. In this region, high elevation meets a distinct rainy season and a consistent dry season, creating a rhythm of growth that yields some of the most balanced beans in the world. While Costa Rica is known for innovation, this specific lot represents the absolute peak of the "Washed" process: clean, bright, and undeniably smooth.

The Profile: Balanced, Warm, & Comforting For this selection, we’ve dialed in a Medium Roast to preserve the delicate nuances of the bean while developing its natural sweetness. It is a cup defined by structure and balance. You’ll find the nostalgic warmth of Toasted Almond on the front end, moving into a smooth Cocoa mid-palette, and finishing with the clean, lingering sweetness of Golden Sugar. It is the quintessential "all-day" coffee—sophisticated enough for a slow Sunday pour-over, yet robust enough for your first cup before a long day of execution.
