Costa Rica: La Gladiola, Tarrazu

Costa Rica La Gladiola Tarrazu is a premier single-origin coffee sourced from the western portion of the celebrated Tarrazu valley. The fruit is meticulously selected from specific farmers and processed at the Beneficio del Rio Tarrazu mill, ensuring total separation from other regional trademarks. Roasted to a refined dark level, this washed-process selection transforms its inherent citrus brightness into a deep, syrupy sweetness. The aroma is rich with notes of caramelized sugar and dark cocoa, while the palate delivers a sophisticated flavor profile defined by toasted almond, baker's chocolate, and a smooth, buttery texture. This foundational selection reflects the heritage of one of Costa Rica's most prestigious microclimates. Developed to highlight its bold body and low bitterness at deeper development stages, it provides a consistent and aromatic cup suitable for versatile brewing methods, including rich espresso. This offering represents a focused and pure taste of high-altitude Costa Rican coffee, delivering a smooth and velvety experience that is both robust and satisfying.
