Costa Rica La Pastora Tarrazu

This coffee is processed by Cooptarrazu which was created on October 13, 1960 and now has over 4,650 members. Located southeast from the capital city of San José, Tarrazú is known as the largest coffee growing region in Costa Rica, and it’s estimated that Tarrazú accounts for 40% of all the coffee grown in the country. Tarrazú sits in the foothills of the Quepos Mountains where this region’s high altitude creates nuanced flavor profiles that are considered some of the best in the world. The region has rich, volcanic soil, and when combined with the cool climate and high altitude produces a coffee that has a striking acidity and a rich, full body. Coffee is the primary source of income in the region, which is made up of a patchwork of small, independently-owned coffee farms. This coffee offers a distinctive flavor profile that is unique and makes that #perfectcup!
