HOT ! First Light - Costa Rica

This coffee comes from Costa Rica and features the SL28 varietal. It’s roasted to a City level (Medium) and grown at 1500 MASL. Naturally processed, it shines with cherry limeade brightness, rounded caramel sweetness, and a jammy finish.

Ad Gustare considers this bean one of the best of the best - perhaps even our favorite so far! It captivates all your senses, with notes of cherry limeade, green apple, grapes, jam, and a touch of caramel. Whether enjoyed hot or as a cold brew, it is a delight! 

Finca Carrizal carries four generations of family tradition, combined with an innovative approach to cultivating, harvesting, and processing specialty coffee for small-batch roasters like Ad Gustare. Nestled between two majestic volcanoes in Costa Rica’s Central Valley, the 74-acre farm rests on a fertile volcanic plateau bordered by two clear rivers. Surrounded by thriving forests and wildlife, the estate carefully preserves its natural ecosystem, safeguarding biodiversity while ensuring the exceptional cup quality we strive to share.
