Colombia & Costa Rica Blend
Origins & Region
• ** Colombia:** Grown across the famed Coffee Axis in regions like
Caldas, Quindío, Huila, and Antioquia, nestled within the Andes Mountains.
• ** Costa Rica:** Sourced from high-altitude regions such as Tarrazú, Tres Ríos, and Valle Central, in volcanic soils between 1,200–1,700 masl.
Elevation (Grown) ⛰️
• ** Colombia:** High-altitude farms between 1,200–2,000 m (≈3,900–6,500 ft), with
peak quality often emerging above 1,800 m.
• ** Costa Rica:** Typically between 1,200–1,800 m (≈3,900–5,900 ft), especially prized areas like Tarrazú.
Elevation Notes: Beans from these heights develop denser, more complex flavors, thanks to
slower cherry maturation and intense UV exposure.
Tasting Notes
** Colombia** • Medium-bodied, rich balance with caramel sweetness, fruity citrus lift, and often nutty
undertones.
** Costa Rica** • Clean, sweet, and fruity—bright citrus acidity, chocolate-nut depth, a clean and
nuanced finish.
** Blend Profile:** Combines the smooth caramel richness and balanced fruit of Colombia with the bright citrus clarity and delicate sweetness of Costa Rica—resulting in a harmonious cup that appeals to a
wide range of palates.

body, and mild acidity with Costa Rica’s bright citrus notes and clean finish, offering both strength and elegance.
