Our 1st Year with Farmers Project of Costa Rica

This is the first year we are working with the folks at Farmers Project Speciality Coffee to direct source coffee from Costa Rica.  This is the first of two coffees we pulled in from them and I had the opportunity to meet one of the farmers, Marco, when I picked it up from the warehouse in Indiana.

For more information about the farmers and this coffee, check out the page on the Farmers Project website.

The Coffee

Coffee from Costa Rica is always a big hit with our customers for the rich, sweet, buttery and citrusy flavor profiles that most Costa coffees deliver.  We thought this was a nice spin on that typical flavor profile.

This coffee packs a buttery, brown sugar and toffee flavor notes with a sugary sweetness.   This is a medium bodied coffee with a balanced, round finish.

Where this coffee works

Costa Rican coffees are crowd pleasers for a ton of reasons.  They're low to no acidity with a buttery texture and easy finish.  They work great no matter how you brew them -- drip, French press, cold brew or even as a single origin espresso.  Our medium roast fans love the feel of these coffees so much that they quickly become the best selling coffee on the shelf.
