apple juice, black tea, and sugar cube

This coffee is soft and supple. I’d brew it with a coarser grind than you’re used to, it draws out the tea like nature of it. You get touches of juiciness and sweetness but every once in a while you sip it and you’re like this tastes like straight up black tea. I personally really the more delicate coffees like this so this one hits the spot for me. Ideal for a pour over or any percolation brew. These more expensive coffees always have that fun added level of complexity that you can explore as the brew cools, I’d definitely recommend being intentional with that to get your money’s worth. A sipping coffee, so to speak.

Costa Rica

Costa Rica knows what it takes to produce high-quality beans and has been doing so for over 200 years. Rich volcanic soil and diverse terrain create bright, clean cups ranging from Tarrazú's bold aromas to Occidental's fruity peach notes. But it's their cutting-edge research in coffee that really sets Costa Rica apart from the rest.
