Origin & SHB Classification
Sourced from the high-altitude lands of Tarrazú at 1,500-1,700 meters, these gourmet coffee beans benefit from unique growing conditions including fertile volcanic soil and ideal climate. The meticulous hand-picking of only the ripest cherries ensures the finest quality Tarrazú coffee.
The Strictly Hard Bean (SHB) classification is Costa Rica's highest grade, indicating beans grown at the highest altitudes where cooler temperatures create slower maturation and denser beans. While not produced in high volume, the slow ripening process results in the complex body and rich flavor profile that makes Tarrazú coffee highly sought-after worldwide.
Tarrazú Region Excellence
The Tarrazú region is one of Costa Rica's most prestigious coffee-growing areas, known internationally for producing exceptional specialty coffee. The combination of high altitude, volcanic soil, and expert cultivation creates coffee with remarkable balance, sweetness, and complexity that coffee connoisseurs appreciate.
