Deep in the mountainous heart of the Costa Rica rain forest lies the
unique terra-culture of Tarrazu. In this central high-altitude mountain
region, there are small, environmental friendly coffee farms with shade
grown, arabica coffee plants. The ripe coffee beans are hand-picked
then sun-dried before roasting. This process takes more time than other
commercial methods but in the end the result is a better coffee bean.
This Tarrazu mountain region is world renowned for producing some of
the finest coffee on this planet for generations.
Tarrazu is the birthplace for our exclusive coffee: Tarrazu Especial
Tarrazu Especial beans are medium roasted using traditional roasting
methods that are essential to bringing out the right flavor in the beans.
The final product is full-bodied, smooth, and full of flavor.
100% Certified Organic, La Amistad, Fair-Trade.
The farms in this southern highland region of La Amistad, Costa Rica
have been dedicated to growing organic for over 10 years. You would not
believe the measures the farmers take to ensure that this coffee is
grown 100% organic.
The farm is part of the natural, surrounding jungle. There are no
pesticides, chemicals, or anything else inorganic remotely near the farms
in La Amistad. Natural farming methods as simple as using bat
droppings from the jungle to combat insects that prefer to eat the coffee
plants, are more effective and less harmful than using pesticides. This is
just one example of how the organic farmers in this region work with
total respect for their surrounding environment. Natural and Organic is
the way all the produce we consume in our bodies should be farmed.
This sharing relationship between the farmland and the natural jungle is
reflected in the clean, well-balanced taste of the beans.
The beans harvested from La Amistad have light earthy undertones and
a vibrant fruity taste. They are hand-picked, sun-dried, then perfectly
roasted using a "organic certified" roaster that only roasts organic
beans.
The beans are roasted to a light/medium roast which brings out all the
natural flavors in the coffee beans.
