5.0 My Absolute Favorite

by David Thomason from San Antonio, Tx on Mar 2, 2012

I've traveled all over South and Central America. Everywhere I go I always try to find the coffee/espresso with a reputation or awards that would make it best of the best. I discovered Cafe Britt when a friend served it. I checkout the website, decided to try this Poas Volcanic Soil Coffee. It surpassed all my expectations. The espresso shots are excellent. No acidic taste, beautiful flavor and wonderfully bold but not too bold! Who would have thought I found my all-time favorite sitting in front of my computer.

5.0 Superior Coffees.

by Robert F. Wayland from Little Rock, Arkansas on Jan 16, 2012

After visiting Costa Rica and drinking Britt coffee, my wife and I prefer to purchase all of our coffee from CafeBritt. We have tried and enjoyed all of the Costa Rican coffees, but our favorites are the Poas Volcanic Soil and the Shade Grown Organic coffees.They are wonderful gifts for our family and friends.

5.0 Smooth, delicious coffee!

by Lesley Bindloss from Irvine on Jan 15, 2012

We went to Costa Rica in September and absolutely loved the coffee we were served every morning. I wanted to find it when we got home, so ordered it from this site. Delivery was speedy and the product is just as fantastic as the original we had in Costa Rica. Miss the view, though!

5.0 Enjoy the best in coffee

by David Hubbard from Junction City, Kansas on Dec 14, 2011

Spent 8 days in Costa Rica and enjoyed a visit to Britts in Heredia. We like the dark roast, but the Poas volcanic is the best for breakfast. It's very smooth and absolutely not bitter. I like it without cream or sugar. My wife wants the cream. We use the Costa Rican drip method which we saw demonstrated at the coffee plant. We will definately want to order more coffee. Pura vida!!

Product Detail

Misty ecosystems and fertile soil. Altitude and legend. The conditions that produce our Poas Volcanic Earth coffee have been nurtured over the millennia on the slopes of Costa Rica’s most-visited active volcano. This is the choice of connoisseurs. The changeable, volcanic climate produces a complex coffee with surprising taste subtleties.

Roasted dark, our Poas has an enticing aroma and sweetness when hot. As it cools, hints of earth and lemon emerge. Each sip produces the same exhilaration as a lucky glimpse of the volcano’s deep-blue crater lake.

 

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

Coffee Connoisseur

The aroma arouses your senses even before the cup touches your lips. Your journey has begun to the edge of Costa Rica’s active Poas Volcano. Nature’s volatility — which played a key role in creating this lushly fertile landscape —­ also helped give birth to the exceptional coffee of this Central Highlands region. 

While steam rises from your cup, reminiscent of the active crater, pay homage to the smoking mountain that for millennia has spilled precious minerals into the surrounding land creating extraordinarily fruitful soil. Your palate is not dreaming. A touch of the smoky, volcanic soil has imparted its flavor into the coffee beans and is deliciously juxtaposed alongside fruity flavors and a bit of bright lime. 

Unlike the unpredictable mountain climate that produces these select beans, the Café Britt Poas Volcanic Earth will consistently provide a complex, aromatic cup.
