Tarrazú is one of Costa Rica's best-known coffee regions. In the town of Santa María de Dota, a cooperative of about 900 farming families grows coffee on slopes at 1,550–1,900 metres. Steady weather through the year keeps the coffee consistent from one harvest to the next.
A bright, fresh cup with citrus up front, mostly lemon and lime, a full body and a light, slightly tangy finish.
Best as pour-over (V60, Chemex, AeroPress), which brings out its citrus and brightness.
