Costa Rica French Roast Coffee

Our Costa Rica French Roast Coffee is grown in the misty highlands of the Palmichal rainforest, near the historic Tarrazú region of Costa Rica. This is a coffee steeped in tradition and rich with character. This area is renowned for its distinctive, bright acidity, a hallmark of exceptional Central American coffees.

The story begins with Don Manuel Rojas Arias, the pioneering coffee farmer who transformed the western slopes of the Escazú Mountains into thriving coffee lands. His success inspired others to convert their sugar plantations into coffee farms, forever shaping the region’s agricultural landscape. After his passing, his sister Doña Romelia carried on his legacy with unwavering dedication, preserving the farm’s high standards and contributing to its enduring reputation.

Don Manuel also founded Beneficio Palmichal in 1933, a mill that processed thousands of bags of award winning SHB coffee. The result of the coffee so remarkable, it set the standard for Costa Rican quality.

Our Costa Rica French roast of is one of our most beloved coffees. It delivers deep, bittersweet notes and a luxuriously creamy body, making each cup a bold yet refined experience that honors generations of coffee craftsmanship.
