Costa Rica, Candelaria Estate Specialty Coffee

Costa Rica, Candelaria sits high in the beautiful West Valley, where mountains create the perfect setting for growing great coffee. This coffee bean is classified as a Strictly Hard Bean (SHB) and is grown at altitudes of 1,200-1,450 meters. For generations, small farmers have cared for the rich volcanic soil, sharing traditions that replenish the land and celebrate each harvest. They pick the cherries by hand from December to April, then use a traditional washed process before drying them in the sun on patios. This careful method brings out the beans’ natural qualities and clean taste. The result is a “Fancy Cup”- grade coffee that shows the care taken at every step. When you brew this Costa rica, Candelaria coffee, you’ll notice a rich, buttery aroma first. Then, a bright hint of citrus adds freshness as well as a smooth milk chocolate finish brings everything together toward a balanced flavor profile.
