Farm and Processing of Costa Rican Dark Roast Coffee - Reserve

Costa Rica’s near-perfect growing conditions set by its rich volcanic soil and high-altitude mild climate directly contribute to its reputation for world-renowned coffee. The higher altitudes that these Costa Rican Dark Roast Coffee - Reserve coffee beans are grown assist in the development of a much better product, not only because they have the effect of increasing the acidity of the bean and thereby improving the flavor, but also because the cold nights that occur at the higher altitudes mean that the trees develop more slowly, leading to a fuller palette.

The regular rainfall caused by precipitation at the higher altitudes is also essential for the proper development of the arabica trees. Grown on small Costa Rica coffee farms with only the finest beans being selected, the coffee is sun-dried and of the highest quality and prestige found in the market. The Tarrazu highland farms have expert agriculturists with over a century of experience in harvesting and processing. Located up the Pirris River basin of the Tarrazu Highlands, the county estates produce Cost Rican Dark Roast Coffee - Reserve with Tarrazu character.
