Discover the refined brightness of SANTA ANITA, a Costa Rica single origin coffee sourced from the celebrated Tarrazú region. Known for its rich volcanic soil, mountain climate and excellent growing conditions, Tarrazú is one of Costa Rica’s most respected coffee-producing areas, producing coffees admired for their clean cup profile, lively acidity and elegant balance.
This coffee is grown at approximately 1,350 metres above sea level and is made from Caturra and Catuai Arabica varieties. It is washed and drum dried, a process that helps preserve the coffee’s clarity, smooth structure and bright natural character. The result is a clean and expressive cup with gentle sweetness, refined acidity and a smooth, creamy body.
Roasted to a medium profile, SANTA ANITA reveals delicious notes of toffee, orange zest and toasted almond. The toffee note brings a soft caramel-like sweetness, while orange zest adds a fresh citrus lift. Toasted almond rounds the cup with a warm, nutty finish, creating a beautifully balanced flavour profile that is both smooth and vibrant.
This Costa Rica single origin coffee from Tarrazú is versatile and enjoyable across a wide range of brewing methods. As an espresso, it produces a clean and balanced shot with gentle sweetness and bright citrus character. In a Moka Pot or French Press, the cup becomes richer and creamier, with more pronounced toffee and almond notes. For pour-over methods such as V60 or Chemex, SANTA ANITA highlights its orange zest brightness, clean aroma and delicate finish.
Perfect for those who enjoy a smooth, bright and well-balanced coffee, SANTA ANITA offers a refined speciality coffee experience with enough complexity for enthusiasts and enough sweetness for everyday drinking. Whether enjoyed black or with milk, it delivers a clean, aromatic and satisfying cup that captures the quality and charm of Costa Rican coffee.
