In Costa Rica, pura vida is more than a greeting: it evokes gratitude for the good things in everyday life, from welcoming company to a great cup of coffee. Picture a morning that begins with mountain air, a sunny beach, and friends gathered around coffee. That spirit is the inspiration for today’s Cafetico spotlight. Some coffees demand attention. Others earn a place in your daily ritual by making every cup feel effortlessly right. Costa Rica Cafetico belongs to the second kind: bright enough to stay interesting, smooth enough to return to, and layered with the quiet sweetness that makes a morning memorable. Enjoy a taste of costa rica cafetico and savor the experience.
Today’s Cumbre Daily Coffee Spotlight travels to the highlands of San Marcos, Tarrazú, Costa Rica, where smallholder farmers grow the coffee that becomes Cafetico. At Cumbre Coffee Roasters in Tomball, Texas, we celebrate the details behind the bean—not just the destination in your cup.
From pura vida to the mountains of Tarrazú
Tarrazú is celebrated for high-elevation coffee growing. Cafetico’s beans come from farms around 1,500 to 1,900 meters above sea level. Its listed varieties are Catuai and Caturra, and the coffee is graded SHB EP. Those details are more than labels: they help tell the story of where this coffee began and why its character is worth exploring.
The coffee is washed and patio sun-dried. In washed processing, the fruit is removed and the coffee is cleaned before drying, a method often associated with a more clearly defined flavor profile. For Cafetico, that clarity provides a welcoming stage for its signature contrast: gentle richness against lively citrus.
What does Costa Rica Cafetico taste like?
Imagine the first sip of a well-made morning coffee. You notice a soft, buttery impression, then a lift of citrus, followed by a comforting note reminiscent of milk chocolate. The product description also identifies a touch of light dried fruit. These are tasting impressions naturally associated with the coffee—not added butter, chocolate, or fruit flavoring.
Cumbre presents Cafetico as a medium roast, balancing a rounded, smooth experience with enough brightness to give it definition. It is a compelling choice for the coffee drinker who wants sweetness and nuance without a heavy or intensely dark profile.
Brew a cup that lets the flavor speak
For a first tasting, try a pour-over or drip brewer with freshly ground coffee. Start around 1 part coffee to 16 parts water by weight; for example, 20 grams of coffee with 320 grams of water. Adjust the grind and ratio to match your equipment and preference. Taste the coffee before adding anything, giving the citrus and milk-chocolate notes room to emerge.
Prefer a richer cup? A French press can emphasize body and the coffee’s rounder side. Cafetico is also offered with whole-bean, standard, coarse and espresso grind choices on its product listing, so you can select an option suited to your brewing setup.

Costa Rica Cafetico is listed in 1 lb, 2 lb and 5 lb sizes. Choose 1 lb for $22, 2 lb for $40, or 5 lb for $95.
