Costa Rica Monte Crisol Coffee Beans

Costa Rica Monte Crisol coffee is known for its sweetness and its silky body. The brewed coffee also exhibits topnotes of blueberry and has a buttery aftertaste.

Like other fine Costa Rican Coffees, Monte Crisol has a clean, robust flavor and crisp acidity. The coffee’s fruity brightness is highlighted well by a Medium-Dark Roast.

One of Costa Rica’s most distinguished coffees, Monte Crisol is grown in the country’s West Central Valley.
