    Clean, smooth straightforward roast with classic Central American chocolate, caramel, and citrusy notes (exact roaster notes). I think the citrus is probably more the orange juice that's a bit overripe and needs a bit more acidic bite. Has a pleasant, full bodied mouthfeel with a slightly syrupy texture.

    I think a lot of folks who like lower acidity would be fine with this as an every day drinker though I think it lacks a standout characteristic.

    Cupping Method:Played around on the v60 with different temps but got about the same. Drinks well at all temps.

More Details

Roast Level: Light Medium
A Light Medium Roast coffee, sometimes referred to as a "City Roast" or "American Roast," lies between a light and medium roast. This roast level strikes a balance by preserving the coffee bean's unique characteristics while allowing for a moderate development of body and flavor. The beans have a medium brown color, exhibiting a slight sheen of oils, providing a more balanced and nuanced flavor profile. A Light Medium Roast typically highlights the coffee's inherent fruity, floral, or citrus notes, while also providing some of the deeper, richer flavors associated with medium roasts.
Bean Source Country: Costa Rica
Predominantly grown in the country's high-altitude regions, Costa Rican coffee benefits from the volcanic soil, consistent rainfall, and mild tropical climate, contributing to its rich, well-rounded taste. Costa Rican coffee often features bright acidity, medium body, and complex flavor notes ranging from tropical fruit to citrus, nuttiness, and chocolate.
