Costa Rica La Minita Terrazu

Year in and year out, La Minita ranks among the world’s finest coffees for very simple reasons — it always delivers extraordinary levels of quality and flavor. And unlike other grand cru estate coffees we offer from time to time, La Minita is always an affordable luxury.

As the flagship coffee of Hacienda La Minita, located in the famed Tarrazu district of Costa Rica, this very dense, high grown coffee is probably the most carefully grown, nurtured, harvested and prepared coffee on the planet. In fact, of the approximately one million pounds of coffee the farm produces each year, less than 30 percent qualifies to carry its flag.

In the cup, look for refined sweetness, wine-like berry flavors and a touch of chocolate and spice that might make you think of milk chocolate truffles.
