Sourced from selected Costa Rican estates, where beans are grown more than 2, 000 metres above sea level for the benefits of a high altitude, this mild coffee is the perfect choice for a smooth start to the day. The high altitudes allow the beans to mature slower than other varieties, resulting in a fuller flavour, & an increased acidity that is not too overbearing, meaning that you can enjoy this coffee straight from the cafetiere at breakfast. The maturing process creates a strictly hard bean (SHB), which is a key feature in finest top quality Arabica coffees that are known for the rich, well-rounded flavours you'll find in our Costa Rica. If you need that extra kick first thing in the day then a small, strong cup of this will do the trick, & it won't leave behind the more acidic tastes of an espresso.
