5.0 Would never buy another coffee

by Grandma Betty from Orange, Ct on Jan 16, 2009

About 15 years ago, my husband and I visted Costa Rica and took a very interesting tour of Cafe Britt. We knew nothing about the coffee at the time. We purchased several bags to take home for ourselves and our children. The coffee was so wonderful. When our supply was gone, we decided we could not survive without Cafe Britt coffee. So, I called and placed an order. We have been ordering the coffee since and now order it online. Over the years, we would have gifts of Cafe Britt coffee sent to our children for special occasions. This would make them so happy because they too developed a love for the coffee. The children are married now, and their spouses have also become addicted to Cafe Britt coffee. In fact, our daughter-in-laws father was going on a vacation to Costa Rica and she asked him to bring her back some Cafe Britt coffee. Now they are all ordering it on their own. We no longer have to share our supply. I make sure I never run out.

5.0 Mild enough to drink anytime of the day

A very light and mild blend that has a wonderful flavor without any after taste. Would recommend this blend to the picky coffee drinker.

5.0 The best I've ever tasted!

by Buckeye Scooterist from Columbus, Ohio on Sep 29, 2008

I have had this coffe shipped to me after I discovered it on a trip to Costa Rica in the early 90's. It is not acidic like so many coffees and never upsets my stomach.

5.0 My perfect wakeup call!

by Jettiesue from Birmingham, Alabama on Sep 28, 2008

Sitting on the deck in summer time sipping iced Costa Rica coffee is a pleasure. Awaking to the coffee brewing in the morning sends a message - "have a great day!" It also adds flavor to cakes and muffins. Haven't found anything I dislike about my coffee. Love the aroma from grinding beans. Have given this coffee as gifts many times. Thanks Cafe Britt.

5.0 I HAD NO IDEA!

by Sincitysucker from Las Vegas, Nv on Sep 28, 2008

Several years ago, I traveled to San Jose, CR on business. My hotel provided breakfast. On the first morning of my stay, I went down to the courtyard. Naturally, the first thing I sampled was the coffee. It took me several swallows to grasp the reality of this "coffee taste" experience. This was, undoubtedly, the best coffe I'd ever had -- and I had enjoyed a great many different coffees in my life. Many were very good, but, on that morning, I tasted the best coffee I'd ever experienced. I even ordered the coffee at other places around town to determine if I had benefited from a lucky, great tasting pot of coffee, or if it was consistent. I'm very pleased to report that it was consistently delicious. Gee, it's funny how most Americans believe that superb coffee comes only on the back of some Colombian mule, led by some guy named Valdez. I thought that until I tasted your coffee. Oh, by the way, if you don't show many recent orders from me, it's because I introduced a wonderful lady (friend) who is also a chef at a rather notable restaurant here in Las Vegas) to my favorite cafebritt.com blend. She buys a lot, and gives me all I need. God bless her. In closing, to all who have not experienced this coffee, please do so. Yes, you can purchase coffee beans or groud coffee for less -- maybe much less. If saving a few pennies dictates your choice(s), skip it. Have another cup of Yuban and ponder your reality. You probably don't possess a palet capable of fully appreciating this coffee. By the way, if you plan on traveling to Costa Rica, e-mail me. I'll not only be a wonderful resource when it comes to coffee, but, my trips and experiences there, and my friends there, may prove to be a huge benefit to you. Hey, I'm happy to do that. In fact, I'm more than happy, I'm desirous. I want to do it. While it's true that CR as more teachers than soldiers, the police have a tendancy to carry large, automatic weapons. Always remember, a Third World Country is just that.

Coffee Connoisseur

The Costa Rica Light Roast delivers a crisp, consistent flavor that is ideal for your morning cup. Each year, our master cupper canvasses Costa Rica’s Central Valley, selecting the best harvest for our Costa Rica blends. The outcome is a reliable flavor, year round... Our efforts produce a highly aromatic, perfectly balanced blend that holds its qualities year round — a real treat!

To craft our Costa Rica Light Roast, we roast the beans in small batches until they achieve a light, caramel color with just a touch of shine. The resulting mild flavor is well balanced with a full body. Each bright sip delivers a light citrus aroma and subtle flavor of caramel and apricot.  Experienced tasters may even discover a hidden undertone of malt.  

Aside from your morning cup, this blend can also add a depth of flavor as an ingredient in baked goods. Mild enough for novices, yet consistent and flavorful enough for aficionados, the Costa Rica Light Roast is everyone’s friend.
