Costa Rica Los Santos
Costa Rica Los Santos
Our Los Santos Diez Pueblos, previously Tarrazu Dom Roberto is a washed, medium roast coffee grown in the mountainous zone in central-southern Costa Rica, in the province of Sago Jose.
Cup Characteristics:
Sweet and balanced, creamy body. Notes of citrus, chocolate and warm cider.
This roast works well for pour-overs, aero-press, French press, and a good quality drip machine.
Los Santos encompasses the cantons of Dota, Leon Cortes Castro and Tarrazú—the latter of which is the most well-known and respected coffee area in Costa Rica.
In 2019, Tarrazú received a Denomination of Origin (DOE) certification, a legal distinction that, like Champagne in France, can only be applied to coffees from the area. For decades, a swath of these mountains — all benefitting from the same cool, humid climates, rich, volcanic soil, narrow valleys and lofty altitudes — were considered Tarrazú. The legal determination, however, is a decidedly
smaller portion of the area.
