5.0 One of the best coffees in a long time!

by Serena Richardson from W. Hempstead, N.y. on Dec 11, 2010

This is one of the best coffees I've had in a long time! My sister visited Costa Rica this summer and gave me a bag as a gift, and before I finished the bag, I ordered another bag from the website, as well as some extra bags for Xmas gifts; the taste is simply marvelous!!

5.0 A cup of spring

by Grace from Pohang on Dec 1, 2010

There are 30some pages of reviews here. What more could I add? Everyone's right on. Let's see....Okay, If you like light roasts, you will be very happy with this one. If you love darker roasts, consider this one as a palate cleanser or as a summer coffee (hot, not cold). When you think about it's fresher citrus notes, it's a cup of spring. When you consider it's more subtle caramel and pear notes, it's a cup of fall. This is a lovely roast.

5.0 Regrets

by Robert Gillespie from Granbury, Tx on Oct 13, 2010

I am a fixed-income retiree and have been enjoying Britt's Costa Rica Light Roast for years now but the recent price increase started me looking at alternatives. I found a Seattle blend which is not quite as good but acceptable and $4.00 per bag less. Also, I used to buy the 10-bag package but I live alone and the 20-bag offers bring the price back down to affordability but are just too large for me. I'm afraid it would get stale and don't even have a place to store it. I miss the product though.

5.0 surprised

by Anonymous from Calgary on Sep 29, 2010

I typically like light/medium roast over a dark roast. I'm not sure why most coffee is a dark roast honestly. This coffee does not disappoint. If you like a light roast, this is the best light roast coffee I've ever tried. I will be buying it over and over again.

5.0 Ground Light Roast coffee

by Guillermo Maduro from San Juan, Puerto Rico on Sep 21, 2010

As a child some 60 years ago, my mother used to take me shopping with her to old San Juan. In a corner of one of its legendary streets there stood a sort of general store, from which always emanated a rich, distinct aroma of coffee brewing. Years went by, and along the way I tasted different kinds of our local Puerto Rican coffee, but their smell never matched that which I had filed in my memory since my childhood. Your Light Roast Ground coffee has definitely revived all those pleasant memories: it's the same aroma, and the taste is sweet, and gentle, not like burnt wood or recently dug soil. I'm very pleased with this product and look forward to being a steady Britt customer. Thanks for bringing back to life sweet images of the past with your exquisite coffee! Sincerely, Guillermo Maduro

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.
