Costa Rica Monte Crisol

$ 18.99

One Real 16oz. Pound

This Costa Rica is a delightful surprise because it is fuller than most Costa Rican coffees.  It is thick and creamy, a departure from this region.  The aroma is a hint of fresh-cut sugarcane.  There is a hint of malted chocolate and raw Mexican sugar in the cup.  The smooth finish has notes of sweet caramel and maple syrup.  This is one to be noticed!

Aroma: Fresh Sugarcane, Fruit
Cup: Thick, Dry, Malted Chocolate, Mexican Sugar
Finish: Smooth, Sweet Caramel

Go to morning coffee

Have been to Palmares in Costa Rica, a well known coffee producing region where this is sourced. It’s some of the smoothest, most consistent café with hot chocolate notes and pastry-like finish. A sweet, satisfying cup worthy of your morning ritual.

Love the full flavor of this coffee. It has a woodsy, smoky aroma that stands out among the other great roasts from Old Bisbee. You guys are awesome!

I like the variety of the sampler pack as it helps me to choose what I would like a larger bag of. I also like that the sampler comes in whole beans so that I can choose the grind.
