What’s so special about Costa Rica coffee? Well, we can’t speak for other brands, but here at Spartan, our Costa Rica Tarrazu coffee is made from 100 percent Arabica beans. This small batch, medium dark coffee has tasting notes of red apple, orange, and milk chocolate. The coffee varietal is Caturra, Catuai.
You can pick up a bag of whole beans to see—or rather taste—what we mean. Or you could get the Central America Tour Bundle 3-Pack, which contains the Costa Rican Tarrazu coffee along with Colombia and Guatemala.
A Look at Costa Rican Coffee Beans
Costa Rican coffee typically has a sweet, fruity, clean taste with moderate acidity levels. The vibrant and well-balanced fruit flavors offer a sweet and light body that is considered one of the best coffees in South and Central America. This is due to its high coffee growing altitudes, the region’s perfect year-round temperatures, the tropical climate, stable rainfall, and the fertile soil.
Another reason why Costa Rican coffee is so good has to do with the way it is harvested and processed. These coffee beans are hand-picked, which means only the ripest beans are chosen for processing. Also, due to the hand picking precision by local farmers, only the most mature beans are considered and the harvest is not rushed. That means the beans aren’t damaged, and only the ripest ones are picked. This brings out their beautiful flavor.
Tarrazu
The best regions for Costa Rican coffee include Tarrazu (which is what we offer), West Valley, Central Valley, and Tres Rios. It’s harvested December to April, boasting an intense and full aroma with flavor profiles ranging from vibrant and floral to fruity and aromatic.
When it comes to the region of Tarrazu in particular, this is where the ancient Huetar Indian tribe once lived. It’s considered the best of all coffee regions in Costa Rica, and accounts for 35 percent of total Costa Rican coffee production. Comprised of small farms that span 22,000 hectares of land, the quality of the beans here is very high, thanks to the rich soil, altitude, and distinguished processing methods. In comparison with other beans, Tarrazu coffee beans have
a higher amount of caffeine.
These elements all come together seamlessly to ensure the perfect cup of Costa Rican coffee every time.
