Costa Rica Tarrazu La Panterra

Costa Rica Tarrazu la Pantera Coffee

Costa Rica Tarrazu coffee offers a clean cup with bright acidity.  This small Central American republic was the first country in Central America to export coffee. Today, coffee is the country’s main crop. In fact, Costa Ricans drink twice as much coffee as Italians. Costa Rica also grows exclusively washed Arabica; the word robusta should be banished from the vocabulary. Indeed, growing robusta is considered an offense punishable by very steep fines.

The best coffees are generally those produced around the capital, San José. The Tarrazu region, south of San José, produces excellent coffee with a clean, well-balanced cup.

Tasting

Costa Rica Tarrazu coffee is highly aromatic, with a rounded cup. On the palate, it bursts with aromas of blackcurrant and blueberries.
