    I loved this coffee. It was naturally sweet and tart with a really nice long, complex acidity at the end. I got notes of jasmine tea, raspberry, fresh plum, green apple jolly rancher, and tropical fruit. Just a lively, fun roast.

    Cupping Method:One time with Chemex, one time with Hario v60. Blind tastings as part of Leaderboard Coffee Season 12.

    Ted liked this one more than me. I liked the aroma, which was like chocolate-covered strawberries. It was hard to drink hot and bitter at first but got better as it cooled. I thought it was complex but not smooth/easy-to-drink.

More Details

Roast Level: Light
Light roast coffee is a delicately roasted coffee that retains more of the beans' natural flavors and characteristics. Light-roasted coffees have bright acidity, complex fruit, and floral notes. Light roast coffee does not have less caffeine than darker roasts because caffeine levels remain stable during roasting.
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.
