CAFÉ BRITT - DARK ROAST - GROUND

Café Britt's classic Dark Roast is a blend of the best beans from Costa Rica's Central and Western Valley  regions. The Central Valley has sweeter and more acidic beans, which combine excellently with the dense and full-bodied beans of the Western Valley, which results in a perfectly balanced cup.

Café Britt says of their classic coffee, "This blend is dark roasted to bring out its rich profile and noticeably chocolaty aroma… As the darkest roast of all our regular coffees, we're confident that we've managed to capture 'the flavor of Costa Rica' in this blend."

Balanced, clean and mild. Exquisite. This strictly hard bean (SHB) has fine acidity, full body and vibrant flavor which give it a distinctive character well balanced and sweetly smooth. Tres Ríos region are considered "the Bordeaux" of Costa Rica. The tradition of growing, milling and sun drying these exceptional beans has been passed down from father to son for generations. The Tres Rios region coffees that are mild sweet and bright. 

The Tres Rios, or “Three Rivers” region is situated just east and fairly close to Costa Rica’s capital, San Jose. It is one of seven coffee-growing zones in Costa Rica, and is specifically known for a well-balanced cup with intense aromas. Under the shadow of the Irazú Volcano in central Costa Rica, coffee from the Tres Rios region benefits from a very specific microclimate. This region has consistently produced specialty coffee since the beginning of the 20th century. The Tres Rios region is located along the Pacific Watershed, which is characterized by well-defined wet and dry seasons. During the months of December and April, the coffee cherries are fully ripe and harvested in the warm, dry weather.  Sadly for coffee lovers, this fertile land is now getting snatched up by real estate developers at a rapid rate. The coffee yield has dropped considerably and farms are pressured to sell of their acreage little by little. Tres Rios' fertile volcanic soil, shady conditions, and an altitude of more than 4000 feet above sea level all contribute to a bright and well-balanced cup.
