COSTA RICA
Costa Rican coffee, believed to be one of the best-tasting coffee flavours in the world, is famous for its light acidity, the result of higher altitudes of coffee plantations. Freshness is the key when tasting Costa Rican coffees, that's why with Bean Bros you can get a fresh batch right after the harvest time which for Costa Rican beans is between December to February.
The round body and light, bright acidity make Costa Rican coffee such a rare, but nonetheless popular choice. With its delightful intense aroma of brown- sugar, Costa Rican coffee is typical in citric flavours, with notes of tropical fruits, apricots or melon.
The typical processing method for Costa Rica is washed and yellow honey. This method avoids spoilage, common with natural processing, and produces a very clean flavour with a lighter body and mild texture. After washing, the beans are typically drum dried, resulting in this coffee variety having inferior flavours, which makes Costa Rican coffee so invaluable on the market.
