Enjoy the festivity of with award-winning Café Direct
Tarrazu Terroir Roast & Ground Coffee from Toucans, Costa Rica. This 100% aromatic
Arabica roast is a great treat to wake up to with its medium-bodied and sweet peachy
notes.
Arabica beans are grown in high altitudes of 1,200-2,000m,
which slows down the growth cycle of the coffee, allowing for more complex
sugars and acids to develop for that distinct Tarrazu characteristic. Another
bonus point about growing these beans in high altitudes is the need for less pesticide
than usual, leading to a healthier source.
Coffee Bean
Varietals
Café Direct Tarrazu Terroir coffee are from the Caturra
and Catuai varietals. Caturra is a mutation of Coffee Bourbon discovered in Brazil, which
has high production and is known for its good quality. The higher the altitude
they are grown in, the better the quality of the coffee, but the production
rate would be reduced. Catuai is a high yielding coffee plant resulting
from a cross between Mundo Novo and Caturra.
These coffee beans are grown by the farmers of the Llano
Bonito cooperative.
Acidity
These beans are known for their bright acidity. Coffee
acidity is highly valued; sourness, however, is an extreme of acidity that can
be considered as a coffee defect. It is also interesting to note that coffee acidity
has a correlation with coffees grown at very high altitudes and in mineral rich
volcanic soils.
