Costa Rica

Costa Rican coffee beans are known for their vibrant freshness and elegant flavour. In the beans, you can taste bright notes of citrus and honey, balanced with chocolate and sometimes a floral nuance. This makes them perfect for both filter coffee and a refined espresso. At Café du Jour, you will always find artisanal freshly roasted Costa Rican coffee, directly from our roastery. This way, you can easily bring the pure taste of this exceptional coffee country into your home.

Why are coffee beans from Costa Rica so popular?

Costa Rica ranks among the top countries for quality coffee. It is one of the few nations 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 notes of honey, caramel, or chocolate. Depending on the region, there may also be floral accents. 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 various microclimates. Each area has its own character, resulting in a wide range of flavour profiles within one country. Especially Tarrazú is world-famous and is often seen as the flagship of Costa Rican coffee.

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 loved for its lively freshness and medium body, while Catuai is known for its sweet undertones with chocolate and citrus. For true connoisseurs, there is also Geisha (Gesha), an exclusive variety with floral and complex aromas.

An other characteristic of Costa Rica is the widespread use of the washed processing method. In this process, the coffee beans are carefully washed, which results in extra clarity and the fresh citrus-like notes that the coffee is renowned for.

How to brew the tastiest Costa Rican coffee?

The light, fruity flavours of Costa Rican coffee are especially prominent with brewing methods that emphasise the freshness.

For filter coffee, such as V60 or Chemex, a medium roast is ideal. This allows you to experience the citrus and floral notes at their best. An Aeropress or slow coffee method also brings out the refined nuances effectively.

Prefer espresso? Choose a medium roast. You will get a surprisingly balanced espresso where fruitiness combines with chocolate and honey. If you want more body, a French press is a good option, while cold brew creates a refreshing, fruity coffee that is perfect in summer.
