Costa Rica Tarrazu 5LB

The first time I brewed this, the whole kitchen smelled like toasted nuts and brown sugar. Knowing it comes from farmers who only produce about 10 bags a year makes each cup feel special.

I usually go through a 5-pound bag in about three weeks, and this one kept its bright, clean finish right up to the last scoop—no stale drop-off. Knowing it’s from a small cooperative makes the morning pour feel a little more worthwhile.

The fact that these are from farmers who only produce 10 bags a year makes me appreciate every sip. The roast is perfectly balanced, not bitter at all, and the 5lb bag lasts me weeks.
