Costa Rica Dota Tarrazu (Feb-Mar 2022)

Coffee has been growing in Costa Rica since the early 19th century, and coffee production was strongly encouraged by the government of Costa Rica by giving away free coffee seeds, allowing certain tax exemptions, and even to the extent of giving away land to farmers who grew coffee on it! It is of no wonder that coffee became a very important export of the country (Fun fact: it was the only export of the country between 1846 and 1940) and it contributed greatly to the development of the country.

Our #dYScover collection this month features coffee from the Tarrazu region, which has a long-standing reputation for quality. The mineral-rich soil, coupled with the high altitude provides the perfect condition for the development of the coffee cherries.  

We taste notes of green grapes, honey, with a slight cocoa-like bitterness, in a medium, velvety body cup of coffee with a pleasant acidity to finish. 

As our #dYScover beans are roasted specially, and separately from the rest of our offerings, we only have limited quantities per month! If you have ever thought or wondered about specialty coffee from Costa Rica, do make sure you give this a try soon!

There are so many different types of coffee grown in various regions of the world, with each region tasting very distinct from one another. 

#dYScover, by Yong Seng Coffee, is our attempt at letting you experience high quality/specialty coffee from the various coffee-producing regions of the world. Read more about specialty coffee here!

Join us on this journey as we bring in coffee from different regions every month, as we explore the world of coffee together.
