Jaguar

Flavor : Honey, toffee and berries - intense sweetness with balanced acids

It was not that long ago when coffee roasters around the world would use a portion of Costa Rican coffee to enhance and super-charge their blends.

The fine acidity, sweetness and perfectly prepared coffees from Costa Rica stood head and shoulders above all other origins.

But over time the price of Costa Rican coffees has reached expensive levels so coffee roasters stopped using Costa Rican coffees in blends.

Today, there is no such thing as a "cheap" Costa Rica coffee. All that disappeared more than 10 years ago.

Our Jaguar is such a lovely coffee with refined acidity, intense sweetness and balance that few other coffee origins can match.

Yep, we love our Costa Rica Jaguar .........a stunning, classy coffee with richness and sweetness you won't find in anything else.
