5.0 A Real Winner

by Dottie from Pennsylvania on Nov 9, 2007

I found Cafe Britt on a cruise ship ! I fell in love with the smooth clean taste of the coffee, and ordered 2 cases to be delivered to my home in Pennsylvania. We were barely home until the first case was sitting on the door step. I delight in grinding the beans, and savoring the aroma, even before the first sip. It really gives my mornings a kick start. My Friends and Family are thrilled with the coffee I serve, and amazed that it's delivered to my door directly from the plantation. It's freshness and quality superceeds all other brands.

5.0 My Favorite Coffee!

by Bug Boy from Indiana on Nov 8, 2007

This is my favorite coffee. The aroma from this coffee is wonderful. This coffee is amazingly smooth with a complex array of tastes that leave me wanting more. When I order my case of coffee from Cafe Britt, Tarrazu and Poas coffee's make up 85% of my order. The Poas and Tarrazu coffees have turned everyone I have given a bag to into coffee snobs. This coffee is a coffee connoisseur’s delight.

5.0 the world over

by Cherry from Santa Fe, Ne Mexico, Usa on Nov 8, 2007

i have lived all over the world, including in some of the famous cafe places on the planet. i even mail ordered internationally cafe beans from my favorite sources at that particular time and place. and after all of that over the years, i came back again and again to Britt Cafe Poas. and now, that is the only bean i will grind and sip, allowing cafe Poas' gorgeous smell and real cafe taste to grace my mornings' mediations and my evenings' pleasure!

5.0 Deliciously perfect!

by El Gringo Escazuceno from Dayton, Ohio, Usa on Nov 8, 2007

My new favorite! I used to exclusively buy the dark roast (green bag), which I still enjoy very much. Poas Volcanic Earth satisfies my need for a full-bodied, dark roast coffee while adding a layer of smoothness and light overtones.

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.
