5.0 Very, very impressive

by Hard Sell from Calgary, Canada on May 27, 2008

I have coffee with light cream and a bit of sugar. My wife with light cream only. Neither of us cares much for S***bucks - too strong tasting. We both do like Tim Hor***'s but I believe it's only available in Canada. Apparently a lot of people agree because the morning lineups are always around the block, at all locations. We were in Costa Rica and I decided to bring a bag of coffee home with us as a souvenir if nothing else. I described the taste we were looking for and Poas Volcanic Earth was recommended. They were bang on! You have to understand, my wife is extremely resistant to change. She won't even try different once she's found something she's happy with. After having tried 'my' new coffee, my wife has now found "absolutely the best coffee she's ever had" and just cannot leave the house in the morning without her cup of coffee. If this doesn't convince you to at least try it, I also love it and a number of friends who drink it black also totally agree that it's really good. I might even try it black one day. I'll report back. It's similar to our favorite franchise coffee but it somehow has more flavor without being more bitter or stronger tasting. And no lineups..... My second cup of coffee often goes cold (well, cool at least) while I work. It's still really good at that point. Apparently that's one way to tell a good coffee from inferior - something I learned in Costa Rica. I'm impressed. Obviously we're ordering more.

5.0 Wonderful, Rich, and Smooth

by Larry9247 from Winder, Georgia on Mar 21, 2008

I loved this coffee. It's bold yet smooth. Wonderful flavor in the morning or after dinner. Some of the other CR coffees I have tried have been too week for my taste, but the Poas was just right.

This coffee is good anytime of day. I love the richness and body. The taste lingers after a sip. One of the best coffees I've had the pleasure of drinking.

5.0 We love this coffee

by Runnermama from Denver,co on Jan 10, 2008

We traveled to Costa Rica and were introduced to Cafe Britt while we were there and have been ordering it ever since (about 4 years now). We have tried a variety of your coffees and have truly enjoyed the experience. Our favorite one right now is the Poas Volcanic Earth (we always buy whole bean). It has a fabulous, rich flavor without being too strong or bold. I can hardly ever find coffee that doesnt hurt my stomach, but due to the low acidity of Poas, it never causes a problem! The only thing my husband and I would change, is the packaging - it always reguires scissors to open vs being able to pull it open. Hope to visit again someday, touring the plantation is wonderful! We have shared this coffee with many friends and family and will continue to do so! Thanks for a GREAT product!!

5.0 Simply Cafe Britt's Best

by Gregg from Oakland, Ca on Jan 9, 2008

We enjoy many Cafe Britt coffees, but Poas is the simply the best -- maybe the perfect coffee.

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.
