common questions
What does Costa Rica West Valley Monte Crisol SHB EP taste like?
this coffee is described with grapefruit tasting notes, pointing to a bright, citrus-forward cup with the kind of clean acidity typical of high-altitude costa rican beans. the shb designation suggests good density and structure to support that brightness.
How is Costa Rica West Valley Monte Crisol SHB EP grown and processed?
it's a caturra varietal sourced from the west valley region of costa rica, grown at high altitude as indicated by the shb (strictly hard bean) classification. the ep (european preparation) grade means the green beans have been hand-sorted to a low defect count before roasting.
How should I brew Costa Rica West Valley Monte Crisol SHB EP?
brew methods that emphasize clarity, such as pour-over or aeropress, will let the grapefruit acidity come through most distinctly. avoid very high brew temperatures, as this can push citrus notes toward bitterness in a bright, high-grown bean.
