NOTES FROM THE CUPPING TABLE
Cooled by Pacific breezes and mountain cloud cover, this coffee develops into a silky, vibrant cup with bright citrus character, floral aromatics, and a smooth, sun-kissed finish.
We've been buying his coffee for 10 years always a consistant taste. Its a light roast but definitely not lacking in coffee flavor. All the coffee taste without the bitterness. Its a huge plus that the grower is such a steward of the earth

Best Coffee I have ever had
I WILL NEVER DRINK ANYTHING ELSE. I like the light roast. It has no bitter taste. I have searched the internet and tried every coffee rated 1-10. I have been to other countries and had their coffees. I was attracted to Costa Rican coffee while on vacation there. I have tried every brand of Costa Rican that is in stores. I happened upon Jim's Organic Costa Rican, and even though I had never heard of it, I decided to purchase it.

I visited Finca La Amistad for 4 nights in 2011. It's a truly exceptional operation. We saw how the coffee is grown and processed, and traveled around the greater property birding. I love supporting them! The coffee is fantastic, and the work they do there fully supports healthy biodiversity, and give community support in many ways. Nothing like seeing an operation for yourself to be convinced!

This is hands down the best coffee I've ever had. If you like the taste of coffee (and not the taste of charcoal) give this one a try.
