Details - Costa Rican Coffee:

100% pure Costa Rican coffee from Tarrazu farms with no filler beans. All Costa Rican coffees are 100% Arabica beans. The near-perfect growing conditions of the rich volcanic soil and mild, high altitude climate contribute to the awesome elegance of this world class coffee. Full-bodied richness with excellent acidity. You'll enjoy an unusually silky yet robust flavor with a bold taste and a beguiling aroma that creates a wonderfully eloquent and complex profile.

The higher altitudes that these Costa Rican coffee beans are grown at produce better beans, not only because they have the effect of increasing the acidity of the bean and thereby improving the flavor, but also because the cold nights that occur at the higher altitudes mean that the trees develop more slowly, which also the beans to develop a fuller flavor. The regular rainfall that is caused by precipitation at the higher altitudes is also essential for the proper development of the trees. These advantages are offset by the higher access and transportation costs which drive up the price of this fine gourmet Costa Rican coffee.

Our Costa Rican coffee is sun-dried and of the highest quality, and prestige, found in the market. We take great care to provide as many quality safeguards as necessary to harvest and roast the top of the Tarrazu highland coffee.

Our packaging provides as many safeguards as necessary to protect freshness and prevent quality loss in each Costa Rican coffee bag. Each package is freshly roasted then package in a one-way valve to maintain freshness during shipping and for storage.

Tarrazu Estate Costa Rican Coffee

The Costa Rican coffee estate farm located in Tarrazu is at the more remote lands up the Pirris River basin in the Tarrazu Highlands. This Tarrazu estate represents the Costa Rican coffee with Tarrazu character, where the coffee is clearly farmed for quality and not quantity, and this is clearly reflected in the cup.

Not at all Costa Rican coffee Tarrazu brands are the same. There are no government regulators who require roasters to be legitimate when they brand coffees as Tarrazu. Only about 5% of actual Tarrazu grown beans are actually included in some of the so called Tarrazu coffee. Lower Costa Rican coffee grades are usually mixed in to be called "Tarrazu coffee." To ensure 100% purity, only coffees that are farmed and packaged in the Costa Rican coffee Tarrazu Valley, which is the area around the Town of San Marcos,  by the farmers themselves can be safely called "original 100% pure Costa Rican coffee from Tarrazu." This is were we directly source, purchase, pack and ship Volcanica Costa Rican Coffee Tarrazu.
