Brand:Café Britt
Located in:Costa Rica Coffee, Dark Roast

Experience Tarrazu Montecielo, a blend for the coffee connoisseurs with a penchant for perfection. Grown in the rich volcanic soils of Costa Rica’s famed Tarrazu region, these choice Arabica cherries are ripened evenly at 1,400 to 1,600 meters, hand-picked, sun dried and dark roasted for a unique taste. Café Britt Tarrazu will surprise you with a flavor that hints of cacao and grapefruit and an aroma of aged wood and dark chocolate. Its intensity fills the palate, then fades cheerfully.

Atarrazú is the Indian word for “rocky ground at the mouth of the mountain”. Known today as Tarrazu, this Costa Rican region has been recognized to produce one of the world’s best gourmet coffees. Our Café Britt Tarrazu comes 100% from small farms in this region; owned and managed by growers who’ve become our friends & associates. We visit them and help them improve cropping practices. They share our standards of excellence and we recognize their hard work by paying them fair prices for their crop. The result is remarkable.

Because of the efforts of the Albany State University Concert Chorale, I had the pleasure of a visit to the Cafe Brit Plantation in Costa Rica and it was an eye-opener! I learned so much about my favorite beverage. Because I also wanted to share the many delicious coffees sampled there at the site, I purchased some for myself in the shop and shipped a box of several coffees home to share with the Ladies of the Tea Committee. These ladies, although they have hosted many Teas as campus fundraisers for the Concert Chorale, after sampling the Coffee Gifts,have unanimously decided to make our next fundraiser a Cafe Britt coffee event. Although only two of us took the plantation tour, we now have a new coffee favorite (all of us are Cafe Britt converts), even the Tea-Totaler! Thanks, Cafe Britt, for a delicious and exceptional coffee!

My name is Bruce Martin, and I am an Emergency Manager for the State of Florida. I recently traveled to Costa Rica, and I fell in love with Tarrazu by Cafe Britt. I purchased six bags of Tarraza, and all of my friends loved the rich flavor and aroma of this special coffee. I'm on my last bag, and had to purchase a case of Tarrazu Coffee. I've traveled all over the world, and I have never found a richer and flavorful coffee, than Tarrazu by Cafe Britt.

Thanks,
Bruce K. Martin

I can honestly say this is one of the BEST coffee's i've had the pleasure of drinking! My friend brought some back from Costa Rica-I took one sip and knew this was something extraordinary.

I literally put my feet up on the coffee table, relaxed and felt it's wonderful warmth and aroma take over...I was in love!

Up until this point, I had all but given up trying to find the perfect coffee. The local coffee shop brews must be adulterated with creams, milk, sugars, and syrups just to make them palatable.

Tarrazu is wonderful black, but add a little milk and a touch of sugar and this stuff is heavenly!

I served it at a party and used the entire bag-I had guests milling about my coffee station the entrie time just talking about this coffee! I went through an entire bag! All the coffee drinkers knew this was not your typical, commercially served brew. There was always someone asking where I got it, who makes it, etc.

Most people purchase coffee for their coffee machine, I'm going to purchase a machine for this coffee! I had used a run of the mill drip machine, and this coffee STILL tasted wonderful. I realized I could really showcase this coffee with a better machine.

I can't wait to try some of the other coffee's from Cafe' Britt.

My morning starter. A day without Tarrazu just doesn't happen. A mug of Tarrazu and crusty French bread toast are a match made in heaven.

First off, as a frequent traveler to Costa Rica, I've had the opportunity to try all the major coffee brands. I've come to favor Britt, however; it's a quality company with quality product.
Until fairly recently, Cafe Britt basically offered only a couple of choices: a red bag (light) and a green bag (dark). I prefer light roasts in general,so whenever I would visit Costa Rica, I would bring back a couple of red bags for myself, a combination of red and green for friends.
Then came these other Britt blends, along with the ability to order online. I've since sampled them all. Some I like. Some I don't. I place several orders per year with roasters in different countries(Coffee makes a great gift!). With regard to the Britt orders, I found myself gravitating to two blends in particular.
Tarrazu Montecielo ranks as my overall favorite. I wouldn't consider it light, nor dark; rather, medium-body. Flavorful, slightly punchy, but not overpowering. Pleasing first thing in the morning as well as after dinner, it's an ideal "anytime" blend. My Number 2 is Tres Rios, a definite light roast, smooth, aromatic, slightly fruity, a nice subtle coffee to wake up with. My coffee-loving friends have echoed my sentiments, which is why Tarrazu Montecielo and Tres Rios make up the lion's share of my Britt orders.

Finally found my ideal coffee

After tasting many types of coffees, I thought I'd have to stick to the German Jakobs ground coffee that can only be purchased in military commissaries here in the States. Then we traveled to Costa Rica and discovered Terrazu Montecielo. What a pleasant surprise! The coffee excels in many ways, taste, body, finish. No bitterness. And I don't have to add extra scoops to the pot to make sure it's strong enough. Bravo, Cafe Britt!

I suffer from chronic heartburn and coffee is usually off limits to me. While traveling to Costa Rica recently I purchased a bag of Tarrazu Montecielo coffee. This coffee smelled so wonderful that I had to have a cup. Much to my surprise it had no ill effects on my stomach. I love it and ordered more. I can drink coffee again!
