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.
Bean Source Region: Tarrazu
Tarrazú, a high-altitude region in Costa Rica, is celebrated for its premium coffee farms. The unique terroir of Tarrazú, marked by its volcanic soil, consistent rainfall, and significant temperature fluctuations between day and night, produces beans with distinct characteristics. Coffees from Tarrazú often showcase bright acidity, a medium to full body, and flavors that can range from red fruits like berries to citrus notes, chocolate undertones, and hints of tropical fruits. The combination of elevation, climate, and soil gives Tarrazú coffee its sought-after complexity and crisp, clean finish.
