Café Britt is 100% pure Arabica Costa Rican coffee, "Mountain Grown" almost a mile high. This hardness allows the bean to stand up to the roaster's extreme temperature, locking in the exceptionally rich flavor.
Café Britt is hand-picked at the peak of the crop. Hand-picking allows Café Britt to select only the ripest cherries for milling.
The cherries are transported to the mill the same day they are picked, and washed and milled with water from tropical aquifers. It is extremely important that the coffee picked during the day is processed that same evening since the optimum flavors are developed within this time frame. We inspect the freshly picked coffee cherries as they are delivered to our mill. If the cherries themselves do not meet the standard for Britt, they are flatly rejected.
The coffee beans Café Britt roasts are naturally patio dried under the warm rays of the Costa Rican sun, and graded to stringent gourmet specifications. After the coffee is dry, it is still surrounded by a natural protective coating known as "parchment". The coffee is held in this natural, protective parchment until just before roasting. This critical step gives Café Britt its remarkable freshness and consistency.
The Café Britt roasting plant is located 4,000 feet above sea level, high in the lush, volcanic central valley growing region of Costa Rica, where the coffee trees receive the perfect balance of sun, rain, and humidity. At the plant, small batches are carefully roasted under the watchful eyes of our master roaster and dedicated quality control staff to assure a perfectly uniform roast. Each batch is taste-tested by an expert coffee "cupper" to confirm its perfect balance, body, aroma, flavor and acidity. The coffee is then meticulously inspected once again immediately packed warm in our Aroma-lock valve packs.
When you combine exceptional growing and processing conditions along with strict control from tree to cup, you get the most extraordinary Arabica coffee in the world.
