Costa Rica Helsar

This delightfully balanced Costa Rican coffee is a blend of a number of farmers’ crops from Helsar de Zarcero in the West Valley region. As such, the coffee includes a diverse range of arabica varietals including Caturra, Catuai, Villalobos, and others. The community features over 30 families who all share a passion for growing high-quality coffee and are constantly innovating to improve their practices. Our medium roast profile brings out a creamy, caramel-like body as well as a delicious praline-like flavour which lingers in the aftertaste. The coffee is also mildly fruity with a particularly orangey taste. This is a great all-round coffee which also features strong sustainability practices. It works great as espresso but we were also pleasantly delighted by it as filter.

We received this coffee once again from our trusted importer, Grounds Coffee, who continue to produce and trade with the outermost attention to quality and respect for people and the environment. Their trade model ensures fair prices, a transparent supply chain and, of course, the highest quality coffee beans.
