Coffee plants were first brought to Costa Rica in 1779 from Cuba, with commercial production launching for the first time in 1808. The first exports took place in 1820, just one year before the Central American countries declared joint independence from Spain.

One of our favorite coffees to feature as part of our monthly coffee subscription - our Costa Rican coffee comes from the region called Alajuela. Alajuela is a coffee farming community of many micro farms that lies deep in the heart of the Costa Rican hillside. Alajuela is one of the world's premier coffee growing regions due to its rich volcanic soil, temperate climate and ideal drainage for coffee farming provided by the mountain-side. 

Our freshly roasted coffee is sealed in our signature black bags and then nitrogen flushed to preserve it's peak freshness. Tasting just as if it were roasted in your own home, you will never go back to boring grocery store coffee again.

Brewing Methods:

Use clean, cold, fresh, chemical-free water that has been filtered preferably. Add 2 rounded Tbsps. per every 8 ozs of water. Grind coffee fresh to match your brewing method. The brew water should be around 200 degrees F (93 degrees C). Keep brewing equipment clean. Store coffee beans and grounds in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture.

  • One 12 oz bag = about 25-30 8 oz cups of coffee
  • One 5 lb bag = 180 8 oz cups of brewed coffee

MAKE IT A COLD BREW!

In an airtight jar, combine 1 cup of ground coffee with 4 cups of cold water. Steep for 12 to 18 hours in the refrigerator. Next, strain the coffee grounds through a cheesecloth or use a French press to filter. Add additional cold water to the cold brew to desired strength. Enjoy black or add milk and sugar to taste.

TRY IT ICED!

Brew coffee double strength by using 4 rounded Tbsps. per every 8 oz of cold water. Let cool, then pour over ice. Enjoy black or add milk and sugar to taste. 

We select and import only the finest quality hand picked gourmet Arabica beans from around the world. Roast in small batches to order and ship them out to you within 24 hours to ensure absolute freshness.
