Discover the Depth of Single Origin: Costa Rica

At NeoBean, we’re all about elevating your coffee experience. And few beans embody the elegance, complexity, and care we seek better than Single Origin Costa Rican coffee. Whether you’re brewing with a French press, drip machine, or Moka pot, beans from this Central American gem deliver a cup that is vibrant, nuanced, and deeply satisfying.

But what makes Costa Rican coffee so special? Let’s explore why this origin continues to earn its place in the spotlight of specialty coffee lovers around the world.

The Land Behind the Beans

Costa Rica is nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea—a country rich in biodiversity and even richer in its coffee-growing heritage. With volcanic soil, ideal elevation, and distinct microclimates, Costa Rica is a natural paradise for cultivating premium Arabica beans.

Key Growing Regions:

• Tarrazu: Perhaps the most famous of all, Tarrazu beans are grown at high altitudes (1,200–1,900 meters) and are known for their full body, crisp acidity, and rich chocolate undertones.
• West Valley: Produces coffees with balanced sweetness, floral notes, and creamy textures—perfect for pour-overs.
• Central Valley: The heartland of Costa Rican coffee, producing beans with mild acidity, nutty sweetness, and clean finishes.

 What Does “Single Origin” Mean—And Why Does It Matter?

When you see “Single Origin” on your NeoBean bag, it means the coffee beans were grown in a specific region—sometimes even a single farm or estate—rather than being blended from multiple sources.

This traceability matters because:

• It allows the coffee’s natural terroir to shine through.
• You get to taste the pure expression of a region’s soil, altitude, climate, and processing method.
• It supports sustainable and ethical sourcing, ensuring fair pay and better conditions for the farmers.

In short, single origin coffee lets you taste the story behind the bean.

Flavor Profile: What to Expect from Costa Rican Single Origin

If you’ve ever sipped a Costa Rican brew and paused mid-sentence—that’s not a coincidence. These beans are known for their clean, bright flavors and balanced cup. Here’s a snapshot of what your palate might pick up:

• Acidity: Bright and citrusy, like orange zest or green apple
• Body: Medium to full, silky, and smooth
• Flavor notes: Honey, chocolate, almond, red berries, stone fruit, and sometimes floral tones

This makes Costa Rican coffee incredibly versatile and enjoyable whether you drink it black, iced, or with milk.

Processing Matters: The Honey Process Revolution

Costa Rica has also pioneered the Honey Process, a method that lies between the traditional washed and natural processes. In this method, the coffee cherry’s mucilage is left on the bean during drying, giving the resulting cup more sweetness and complexity.

NeoBean’s Costa Rican single origin often comes from micro-lots that use this method, resulting in:

• Sweet, syrupy flavors
• A fruit-forward aroma
• A rich mouthfeel with reduced bitterness
