Why are coffee beans from Costa Rica so popular?
Costa Rica ranks among the very best when it comes to quality coffee. It is one of the few countries where it is legally mandatory to grow only 100% Arabica coffee. As a result, the standards are always high, and you can enjoy a refined and pure flavour.
What makes Costa Rican coffee particularly special is the combination of lively freshness and natural sweetness. You often taste a light citrus acidity that is beautifully balanced by hints of honey, caramel, or chocolate. Depending on the region, there may also be floral notes. The result is an elegant and accessible coffee that works excellently as filter coffee but can also be surprisingly delicious in an espresso.
Origin and regions in Costa Rica
The diversity of Costa Rican coffee stems from the different microclimates. Each area has its own character, resulting in a wide range of flavour profiles within one country. Especially Tarrazú is renowned worldwide and is often seen as the flagship of Costa Rican coffee.
Region | Flavour profile | Location and conditions |
---|---|---|
Tarrazú | Complex, citrus, honey, lively | High altitude (1,200–1,900 m), volcanic and cool |
Central Valley | Rich and balanced, chocolate and caramel with light fruit notes | Volcanic soil, plenty of sun and rain |
Tres Ríos | Elegant and floral, refined acidity | Known as the “Bordeaux of Costa Rica” |
Brunca | Mild, approachable and slightly sweeter | Warmer climate, lower altitude |
Costa Rican Arabica coffee beans
All coffee from Costa Rica is Arabica, but there are various varieties, each with its own character. For example, Caturra is popular for its lively freshness and medium body, while Catuai is known for its sweet undertone with chocolate and citrus. For the true connoisseurs, there is also Geisha (Gesha), an exclusive variety with floral and complex aromas.
Another characteristic of Costa Rica is the widely used washed processing method. Here, the coffee beans are carefully washed, which results in extra clarity and those fresh citrus notes that the coffee is so famous for.
How to brew the most delicious Costa Rican coffee?
The light, fruity flavours of Costa Rican coffee are especially prominent with brewing methods that emphasise freshness.
For filter coffee, such as V60 or Chemex, a medium roast is ideal. This allows you to taste the citrus and floral notes at their best. An Aeropress or slow coffee method also brings out the refined nuances well.
Prefer espresso? Opt for a medium roast. You’ll get a surprisingly balanced espresso where fruitiness combines with chocolate and honey. If you want more body, you can use a French press, while cold brew creates a refreshing, fruity coffee that is perfect in summer.
