ABOUT CAFÉ BRITT ®

Café Britt started the way most out days do: with the search for great coffee.

A HISTORY OF GOURMET COFFEE

Costa Rica has been producing some of the world’s best coffee for more than one hundred years. Before Café Britt, however, all gourmet coffee was exported. Costa Ricans and visitors to the country only had access to the lower-quality beans reserved for domestic consumption. But where many people would have seen a barrier, the founders of Café Britt saw an opportunity.

More than three decades later, we are still offering Costa Rica’s finest gourmet coffee.

IN-COUNTRY ROASTER

Since the beginning, Café Britt has roasted in the country of origin. It’s one of our hallmarks and one of the biggest differences between us and other coffee companies. Our coffee is picked, roasted, and packed in Costa Rica, and then it’s delivered fresh to you.

SOIL AND CLIMATIC CHARACTERISTICS

Costa Rican soils has a slight degree of tropical acidity, soils are enriched by volcanic ash soil. They are also rich in organic matter and this allows a good distribution of the roots of the coffee plant that retains moisture and provides oxygenation. Over 70% of production comes from the mountains, where the heights range from 1000 – 2100 masl. and the temperature is between 17 C° and 23 C°, sunlight is stable and optimal amount of rain.

Costa Rica’s climate has two seasons: one of moderate rains during the cherry’s growth and development; and one of diminished precipitation- the dry season, which coincides with the harvest.
