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, including a diverse range of arabica varietals including Caturra, Catuai and Villalobos. 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, a delicious praline flavour and a pleasant orange-like acidity which lingers in the aftertaste. This is a great all round coffee which works great as espresso but we were also pleasantly surprised by how it tasted as filter.

We received this coffee once again from our trusted importer, Grounds Coffee, who continues 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 the highest quality coffee beans.
