A Taste of Costa Rican ExcellenceDiscover the exceptional flavors of Costa Rica with our SHB (Strictly Hard Bean) EP (European Preparation) La Pastora Superior coffee. Grown at high altitudes in the rich volcanic soils of the Tarrazú region, this coffee exemplifies the vibrant and refined characteristics for which Costa Rica is renowned..A Strictly Hard Bean (SHB) green coffee must be grown at an altitude of 1,200 meters above sea level or higher. When coffee grows at high altitudes, the coffee cherries mature more slowly. This allows the fruit to take in more nutrients, resulting in denser, sweeter coffee beans that are considered higher quality. During dry milling, the lot was further sorted to European Preparation (EP) specifications with a minimum screen size of 15 and above and a maximum of eight defects within 300 grams.
