Processing Method and Quality Control

These green beans are grown in the renowned Tarrazu region, known for its high elevations and ideal coffee-growing conditions. The beans are washed and drum dried, a method that preserves their clarity and brightness. The combination of nutrient-rich volcanic soil and a cool mountain climate allows the beans to develop a refined acidity and a complex flavour profile.

Potential Flavour Notes and Characteristics

Roasting these beans can bring out nutty, caramel, and citrus notes, with a creamy body that adds to their overall richness. Depending on the roast level, you can emphasize either the sweetness and balance or the vibrant citrus acidity of the beans.

Benefits of Home Coffee Roasting

Roasting your own Costa Rica Amapola Tarrazu Green Beans at home allows you to control the roast level, bringing out the unique flavours of the Tarrazu region. Whether you prefer a light roast to highlight the beans’ citrus brightness or a darker roast to enhance their nutty and caramel undertones, home roasting offers a fresh and tailored coffee experience.
