For our April 2024 Bean of the Month, we’re thrilled to offer a 15% discount on one of our favorite single origin coffees — the Costa Rica Santa Elena. This exceptional coffee comes from the heart of the West Valley region in Costa Rica, an area renowned for producing some of the finest Arabica beans in the world.

The Santa Elena Estate

Situated at an altitude of 1,200 to 1,600 meters above sea level, the Santa Elena Estate benefits from the ideal growing conditions found in the West Valley. The region’s fertile volcanic soils, ample rainfall, and cool mountain temperatures create a perfect microclimate for cultivating exceptional coffee.

The estate has been in operation since the late 19th century and has developed an unwavering commitment to sustainable farming practices over generations of family ownership. Every step of the process, from tending to the plants to processing the harvested cherries, is carried out with the utmost care and respect for the environment.

Tasting Notes: A Sensory Delight

The Costa Rica Santa Elena is a light-to-medium roasted coffee that delights with its well-balanced flavor profile and bright, vibrant notes. Upon brewing, you’ll be greeted by an inviting aroma that hints at the deliciousness to come.

In the cup, the Santa Elena delivers a smooth, clean taste with a delightful brightness. Notes of citrus, particularly orange zest, mingle harmoniously with hints of sweet caramel and toasted nuts. The acidity is lively yet well-integrated, adding a refreshing crispness to each sip.

As the coffee cools, deeper flavors of dark chocolate and a subtle nuttiness emerge, rounding out the experience with a lingering, satisfying finish. Whether you prefer to drink it black or with a splash of milk or cream, the Santa Elena’s nuanced flavors truly shine.

Sourcing and Roasting with Care

We source our Costa Rica Santa Elena beans directly from the estate, ensuring traceability and adherence to the highest quality standards. The beans are carefully hand-picked, sorted, and processed using traditional methods that preserve their exceptional character.

Once in our roastery, we apply our meticulous roasting techniques to coax out the best flavors from these extraordinary beans. Our roastmasters closely monitor the roasting process, adjusting the time and temperature to achieve the perfect light-to-medium roast that highlights the Santa Elena’s vibrant taste profile.
