costa rica tesoros volcanicos shb ep

Sale price$17.00

Costa Rica has a long history with coffee. First planted in the late 1700s, it played a major role in the agricultural economics of the country by the 1820s. Costa Rica has eight main growing regions: Central Valley, West Valley, Guanacaste, Tres Rios, Turrialba, Orosi, Brunca, and Tarrazu. Tesoros Volcanicos was developed to highlight what makes Costa Rican coffee great by blending smallholder lots from various regions.

A blend of caturra and catuai varieties, this lot features the cocoa and caramel notes the West Valley is known for, and low acid, full-bodied and sweet floral notes from Brunca, plus the brilliant citrus from Tarrazu - this is truly Costa Rica in a cup.
