Costa Rica is the only country in the world where it is actually illegal to produce any type of coffee other than 100% Arabica—the highest quality of coffee beans. A law was passed in 1989 prohibiting the planting of low-quality beans, encouraging Costa Rican farmers to pursue true excellence. Arabica beans are a specific variety of beans that is more difficult to grow than other, hardier stocks. The result when the beans mature though is rich, full-bodied flavors leading to premium blends. In Costa Rica, we take growing coffee seriously and so we only want to offer you the best. That’s why we only grow Arabica. When we say Costa Rican beans are picked by hand here’s what we mean: our heritage as gourmet coffee makers has taught us that the secret to the best brews is not to rush the process. So when we pick our coffee beans, only the ripest beans are plucked and processed. ts defining tasting notes include a brown-sugary sweetness, citrusy notes, and apricot-like fruity flavors.
