Costa Rica Dota Tarrazu

Say hello to our new favourite single origin on the block. Single-origin coffee is the flavour of the month right now, and after tasting our Tarrazu, you'll understand why. It hit our shelves 2 weeks ago after a long hiatus – Tarrazu can be hard to come by –and it's been a firm favourite among our team & café customers alike.

Hailing from the Santa Marta de Dota region in Costa Rica, Dota Tarrazu is a full & buttery bodied coffee with hints of peach & brown sugar. That's my tasting notes – James (our op's manager/all things coffee expert) calls milk chocolate & stone fruit. However, your palate tastes it – put simply, this coffee packs a punch.

Being grown at high altitude, and located in a cloud forest the mineral-rich, moist soil gives this coffee its dense, super-rich flavour. Tarrazu is not only home to great coffee but also many endangered species – including the Quetzal (a pretty cool-looking bird) – with most of the land also under conservation.

When visiting our café you can try our Dota Tarrazu in-house – we recommend it served as an espresso or long black, but will tolerate milk well. Can't get in store, visit our online store – available in 250g, 500g or 1kg bags. Unfortunately, this coffee is only around for a good time not a long time. Get around it!

NB – Keep an eye out for a new single origin being added to the Brew family soon.
