Often described as tea-like and smooth, mild-bodied coffees tend to be light and bright on the palate.
A coffee’s process describes how the seed (aka the coffee bean) is separated from the coffee cherry. Popular methods include washed, dry, and honey, but there are many other processes that put special emphasis on different aspects of these methods.
Harvest and export times are based off when a particular coffee will be at its peak quality. Cherries picked at the start of the harvest season tend to be underdeveloped, and those picked at the end are often overdeveloped, so producers aim for that sweet spot in the middle.
The picturesque landscape of Costa Rica is home to some of the world’s most famous coffees. The high elevation—up to 1,800 masl—makes for remarkably distinct coffee, with flavors ranging from sweet wine to cocoa to cinnamon. Costa Rica is known for growing Strictly Hard Bean (SHB) coffee. SHB coffee matures slower than lower-altitude coffee, giving it more time to develop additional nutrients and density.Fresh Roasted Coffee’s Costa Rican offerings come from two areas separated by the capitol, San José: Tarrazu and Alajuela.
