New Crop Costa Rican Has Arrived............

This last Friday our first container of the New Crop season from Costa Rica backed into our receiving dock. As always I'm eager to inspect the container itself for contaminants, like bad odors. Then I open a few bags with my trier to check out the coffee. They are uniform and deep green....I can't wait to sample roast them.

They roasted up evenly, the aroma was intense with Carmel. The cup was rich and creamy with the smoothness of a true very high grown Costa! The subtle Carmel finish is what make a true specialty Costa Rican.

I was so impressed with it's cup I booked another container and look forward to it's arrival in mid July of this year.
