MMmmmmmmm... now I have to say that this is not my all time absolute fave coffee from Cafe Britt but it pulls up a pretty close 2nd. It has a great aroma, I love the moment its intoxicating scent hits me as I come down the steps in the morning. It has a great flavor and a smooth richness that I love! It is as if each sip takes me to far off places deep in the luscious Costa Rican rainforest.

Better than any alarm clock, waking up to this extreme coffee aroma takes second place only to that first sip. Not an early bird by choice, this is the coffee I can live with in the morning. Being a one cup a day kind of gal, it's got to be a great coffee and the Poas Volcanic Earth is at the top of my list. We discovered this coffee earlier this year after an early morning trip up to the Poas volcano. A 3 toed sloth hanging from a line by the side of the road paralled my sluggishness. Typically Poas is misty & foggy (like I am when I wake up) but the sun broke through and this is what this coffee does for me.

This is one of the smoothest coffees I have ever tasted. I like to gift it as a gift to others who have never been to Costa Rica to entice them to visit and show them what they are missing. My family visited Poas on a misty day(which is a normal experience), but just as we were ready to leave, the sun came out. It was absolutely marvellous.

This is the first aroma of the day; the grinder wakes us at 5 A.M., and the scent draws us from bed.This coffee holds up well to cream, but tastes great black (if you like a strong flavor).

I cannot wake in the mountains of Costa Rica, but I can enjoy the coffee. It is a wonderful buffer between sleep and greeting the day. It smells good, it tastes great and is just awesome. I recommend you treat yourself to it without additives and make it extra strong!
