Costa Rica HB EP San Jorge Ecotact

This lot comes from the Brunca region of southern Costa Rica, an area known for producing
clean, well-structured coffees with bright acidity and clear sweetness. The region’s moderate
elevations, consistent rainfall, and warm days paired with cooler nights create ideal conditions
for steady cherry maturation. These environmental factors contribute to the clarity and balance
Costa Rica is famous for, making Brunca coffees especially reliable and versatile across roast
styles.
San Jorge is the producing community behind this coffee, with smallholder farmers delivering
their harvest to Coopeagri R.L., one of Costa Rica’s well-established cooperatives. Coopeagri
works closely with its members to support quality-focused production and consistent
processing standards. Farms in this area average around 2.5 hectares, keeping production small
and hands-on while maintaining dependable volumes and strong physical quality.
This coffee is classified as HB (Hard Bean), indicating it is grown at higher elevations where
slower cherry development leads to denser beans and more refined flavor potential. The EP
(European Prep) designation reflects careful sorting and defect removal, resulting in a clean,
uniform lot well suited for consistent roasting. In the cup, expect a balanced and approachable
profile with citrus brightness, cocoa depth, and toffee sweetness. It’s a dependable Central
American coffee built for repeatable results, working equally well as a single origin or as a
structured, crowd-pleasing blend component
