Costa Rica La Pastora Tarrazú Beans

1.2Lbs of Green Beans (Roasted weight will vary)

This coffee boasts a sweet complex aroma with a full body and bright, clean acidity. We recommend a medium roast to bring out the notes of orange zest, chocolate and burnt sugar in this coffee. The flavours are a result of the high altitude combined with rich volcanic soil.

In a dark roast, Costa Rican beans will develop a bittersweet chocolatey flavour and a tart finish. Because these beans are grown in a dense arrangement on the side of a mountain traditionally, they have more time to develop deep and rich flavour.

Tarrazú is one of Costa Rica’s premier coffee regions, known for its “strictly hard bean” (SHB) coffees cultivated on steep, volcanic slopes. Extreme elevations and a cool, dry microclimate slow cherry maturation, concentrating sugars and acids in the Caturra and Catuaí varietals . Because many farms are small and remote, Tarrazú growers handle much of the processing themselves, preserving distinctive micro‑lot character. The result is a vibrant cup with both sweetness and structure, prized by specialty roasters worldwide.
