Your guide to Costa Rica Green Coffee Beans for Home Roasting

  • How to roast Costa Rican coffee?

    When it comes to roasting Costa Rican coffee, it’s all about what you’re roasting for. For espresso, a slightly longer roast with a higher drop temperature brings out the best in the beans. If you’re brewing filter coffee, a lighter roast with shorter development time works wonders. This keeps the bright, fruity, and sweet flavours front and centre.

  • What is the flavour profile of Costa Rican coffee?

    Costa Rican coffee is loved for its clean, crisp taste with a good body and bright, fruity acidity. While the flavour can vary depending on the region, you’ll often find floral and sweet notes with a medium body.
    The country’s diverse climate and rich volcanic soils give each growing region its unique twist. Tarrazú, for example, is known for its lively acidity and refreshing finish, perfect for speciality coffee lovers. Meanwhile, Heredia, in the central valley, produces coffee with a beautifully balanced profile and standout floral notes. Wherever it’s grown, Costa Rican coffee is all about flavour and character.
