5.0 I don't know why, but....

by John Swift from Mountain Home, Ar on Jan 6, 2012

After using the Tarrazu Montecielo Coffee, which spouse & I really liked, I decided to try the Organic Shade Grown. Much smoother and satisfying! Still not quite enough of that coffee aroma after brewing, but definitely a 'keeper'. I will purchasing the Shade Grown from now on.

5.0 caramel notes in shade grown

by Grace from Atlanta, Ga on Dec 5, 2011

This was given as a gift many years ago and I have not found a coffee I like better since. It's a great everyday coffee that you don't tire of. Some time ago, I learned that one of the reasons why shade grown coffees can be tastier is that they often take longer to mature since they're grown in the shade. Apparently, this causes the sugars to develop more and so you get more natural carmelization when the bean is roasted. THUS the richer, sweeter, smoother coffee experience.

5.0 costa rica shade grown organice

by Catherina from Vancouver on Dec 5, 2011

My daughter went to Costa Rica on a missionary trip to help the local people there, she brought me this coffee and I loved it. Since then I have been trying all the other kinds from Cafe Britt and this is still my number one choice!

1.0 costa rica shade grown organic

by Elizabeth Guerra from Hewitt on Nov 21, 2011

After trying this coffee, I realized that any coffee described as having an "earthy" flavor or aroma really taste like dirt to me. Reminded me of Asian coffee, which I dislike for the same reason; it tastes like dirt.

Product Detail

Fill your senses with earthly pleasure!

Café Britt’s Organic rich flavor hints of apple and laurel, its aroma of freshly tilled soil. This coffee lingers on the palate and stays on the mind.

Café Britt has been cultivating and processing certified organic coffee since 1991. Dark roasted, Café Britt Organic is harvested from plantations that use 100% organic materials to improve and fertilize the soil. In this way, soil quality is ensured, and ground water protected. The coffee bushes flourish under the shady embrace of native tree species, which increases the plantation’s biodiversity by attracting migrating birds and other animals. This makes for long-term sustainability of the region’s agro-ecosystem.

  • 100% Arabica SHB (Strictly Hard Bean).
  • Kosher certified.

Coffee Connoisseur

Mother Nature’s favorite! This high-mountain gourmet coffee ripens naturally under a protective canopy of native trees. All the farmers who supply Café Britt practice sustainable, earth-friendly agriculture, but only growers who are internationally certified provide the beans for Costa Rica Shade Grown Organic.

We combine coffees from four key growing regions to craft this remarkable blend. The Central Valley produces an especially hard-bean coffee for year-round consistent flavor. The elongated beans of the West Valley ensure a balanced cup. The beans of Orosi add a lighter note, and those from the Brunca region contribute a fresh, lively taste.

The dark roast brings out a strong flavor with hints of laurel and apple. It stimulates the palate and eases the conscience – only the best environmental practices are present in every bag.
