La Minita Tarrazu de Costa Rica – RFA – Green Unroasted

Taste: There is a reason La Minita Tarrazu de Costa Rica is our biggest seller.  This legendary Costa Rican boasts easily identified citrus orange flavors,  natural caramelized sugar sweetness, and dark chocolate notes.  All of this is combined with brilliant acidity and medium body. Our personal favorite, we can’t get enough of the unusually long finish – talk about leaving a good taste in your mouth! We think this bean compares favorably with the Hawaiian and Jamaican classics.  Full disclosure; sometimes I lay in bed at night and think about this coffee.

Roast: Medium/Dark (Full City Roast) is our go to roast.  We back off on heat and airflow a bit during the development phase to enhance the bean’s natural sweetness.

About: We buy this incredible bean directly from the plantation.  The La Minita coffee estate is located in the picturesque landscape of the Tarrazu region in central Costa Rica. The coffee from this legendary farm is considered by experts to be among the very best in the world. The Hacienda La Minita reputation and renown results from a constant drive for continuous improvement.  Over the years this property also implemented innovative and progressive farming and management techniques leading to it becoming Rainforest Alliance Certified.

La Minita has long been considered by many experts to be one of the world’s most exquisite coffees. It is one of the last true Estate coffees, as the owners meticulously oversee and control every aspect of the coffee preparation, from nursery through final milling.
