About

Costa Rica Tarrazu green coffee is an amazing offering due to its delicious flavor as a stand alone single origin and for its easy blend-ability. We suggest roasting this green coffee to a medium to dark level to enhance the bean's inherent sweetness and clean body.

Our unroasted, green coffee selection is intended for roasting purposes. Do not consume green coffee. Green coffee that has been purchased and roasted is not returnable.
