    Chocolate with a bit of strawberry. Smooth. A little bit bitter.

    This was a solid Costa Rica with a chocolate lead and some strawberry notes. I think it's slightly hoppy or woody towards the back end of the palate. Not sure if it's a freshness or a roast note. I still liked it overall.

    Cupping Method:Pourover, 197F with Hario v60, 18:1 ratio. One of 6 coffees from a Vibrant sampler.

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.
Bean Source Region: Central Valley
Coffee from Costa Rica's Central Valley is renowned for its bright acidity, medium body, and rich flavors of red fruit, citrus, and a hint of honey. The volcanic soil, high altitude, and ideal climate of the region contribute to the coffee's distinctive taste.
