5.0 Susie

by Susie Hastings from Sunrise, Fl on Jan 12, 2010

We originally bought this when we were in Costa Rica on vacation and brought it back for my mother and step-father. The only thing they wanted for Christmas was more!

4.0 Sweetness

by David from Rochester, Mn on Dec 23, 2009

We discovered Cafe Britt through our friends who brought back a bag from Costa Rica. We've been ordering it every since for over a year now. This particular coffee is almost sweet and very smooth. It's not acidic and sits in the middle of the tongue with little to no after taste. Compared to other popular coffee chains, i find this coffee to be a bit sweet without milk and I like that. -DK

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.
