Costa Rican Tarrazú Papagayo
Flavor Profile

Bright, smooth, and beautifully layered, this high-grown Costa Rican coffee delivers a refined cup with notes of citrus, golden honey, and soft chocolate. Its silky body and balanced acidity create a clean, elegant finish that feels both approachable and sophisticated.

Why This Coffee Stands Out

Costa Rican Tarrazú Papagayo is sourced from one of the most respected coffee-growing regions in the world—Tarrazú, Costa Rica. Grown at high elevations in nutrient-rich volcanic soil, this coffee develops exceptional density, clarity, and flavor complexity.

Its slow maturation at altitude allows the beans to build a sweeter, richer profile, making it a standout option for cafés and specialty coffee programs looking to offer a premium Central American origin with strong customer appeal.

Ideal For
Single-origin pour overs
Premium house drip coffee
Espresso blends needing sweetness and structure

What Makes Tarrazú Special

Tarrazú is celebrated for producing coffees with remarkable balance, sweetness, and depth. The region’s cool mountain climate, volcanic soil, and careful harvesting methods create coffees known for their clean cup quality and elevated flavor.

This coffee is classified as SHB (Strictly Hard Bean), a designation reserved for beans grown at the highest elevations in Costa Rica. These conditions produce denser beans with more developed flavor and excellent brewing performance.
