What Are Costa Rican Coffee Beans?

Costa Rican coffee beans are high-quality Arabica beans grown in Costa Rica’s volcanic soil and high altitudes, known for their bright acidity, rich flavors, and adherence to Costa Rican quality standards. These beans usually include the Arabica varieties Caturra and Catuai. While Costa Rican coffee isn’t a distinct variety, its unique qualities result from Costa Rica’s climate. The main distinction between Costa Rican coffee beans and other Arabica is their origin and environment.

Exclusively cultivated in Costa Rica, these beans offer unique brightness, balanced acidity, and full-bodied flavor. Fresh Costa Rican coffee beans retain more natural flavors and oils, producing a richer, aromatic coffee with notes of citrus, chocolate, and floral undertones. The top Costa Rican beans, from regions like Tarrazú and Tres Ríos, are hand-picked, washed, and either sun-dried or honey-processed for a well-balanced, aromatic coffee.
