Origin & Sourcing

This whole bean coffee comes from San Marcos de Tarrazú, San José, Costa Rica, a region known for high-elevation coffee, volcanic soil, and structured cup profiles. The coffee is grown at approximately 1,300–1,600 meters above sea level in volcanic loam, which supports clarity, sweetness, and balanced acidity.

The coffee is fully washed and sun dried, creating a clean cup with defined flavor and layered sweetness. Varietals include Caturra and Catuai, both commonly grown in Costa Rica and known for producing balanced, expressive coffees.

Brewing Guide

This Costa Rica medium-light roast works especially well for pour-over, drip coffee, iced coffee, Chemex, and AeroPress.

A good starting point is a 1:16 to 1:17 coffee-to-water ratio. For example, use 20 grams of coffee with 320–340 grams of water.

For pour-over, use a medium-fine grind and water around 200°F, starting with a short bloom before pouring in slow, even stages. For drip coffee, use a medium grind and filtered water for a clean daily cup. For iced coffee, brew slightly stronger and pour over ice to preserve sweetness and brightness. For AeroPress, use a medium-fine grind and adjust brew time depending on whether you want a brighter or fuller cup.

For the freshest flavor, grind your beans right before brewing and avoid grinding the whole bag at once.
