Costa Rica Single Origin Coffee

9 reviews

Silky, honeyed warmth with a rich cocoa finish.

Sourced from high-altitude volcanic soils where growing anything less than strict Arabica is prohibited by law, this Costa Rican single origin delivers exceptional sweetness. Dried using the honey process to retain natural fruit sugars, it fills your cup with warm caramel, smooth honey, and crunchy honeycomb notes anchored by dark chocolate. It tastes so naturally rich and balanced that you will never feel the need to reach for sugar.

TASTING NOTES
DARK CHOCOLATE Deep cocoa base providing a velvety, heavy body
GOLDEN HONEYCOMB Rich, toasted sugar sweetness throughout the cup
WARM CARAMEL Smooth, buttery aroma with fresh, balanced acidity
WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY
★★★★★

"I love a beautiful long black everyday. This coffee is full of flavour without being bitter. Rich taste starts the day off perfectly."

Annie Verified • Brews as Long Black
★★★★★

"I really enjoy this lot of coffee. It’s so very fine chocolate tasting... If one loves chocolate flavours this is the one."

Thom Verified • Repeat Purchaser
★★★★★

"Well balanced and always freshly roasted. Love it by itself and also add it to private blend to up the ante."

Doug Verified • Daily Drinker
WHY CUSTOMERS LOVE THIS ORIGIN
HERITAGE
1200-1500m Volcanic Peaks

Grown in rich volcanic soils where strict laws prohibit low-grade coffee species.

PROCESS
Honey Processed

Dried with sweet mucilage intact on the bean for intense natural sweetness and body.

VARIETALS
Caturra and Catuai

Selected specifically for their buttery caramel finish and deep chocolate flavour.

QUALITY
Roasted Fresh Daily

Hand-roasted fresh to order in small batches for peak aroma and pristine flavour balance.

WHY THIS BEATS SUPERMARKET COFFEE
FRESHNESS
Roasted Fresh vs Warehouse Stale

Supermarket beans sit in storage for months. We roast fresh daily so the delicate honey aroma stays alive.

PROCESS
Honey Processed Sweetness vs Stripped Flavour

Standard commercial washing strips natural fruit sugars away. Honey processing locks in caramel richness.

PURITY
Strict Law 100% Arabica vs Mass Commercial Fillers

Protected by strict Costa Rican agricultural laws to ensure zero low-grade Robusta filler.

Costa Rica single origin

I really enjoy this lot of coffee.
It’s so very fine Chocolate tasting.
I do like verity and like all your coffee beans. This one along with the El Salvador beans of the month have been my standouts. If one loves chocolate flavours this is the one 🥰

Thanks so much, Thom! Great to hear you’re loving the Costa Rica Single Origin, those chocolate notes really are something special. Appreciate your support and glad it’s a standout alongside the El Salvador! Happy brewing, Team Merlo ☕️
