Flavor Description

La Minita has long been one of the benchmark names in Costa Rican specialty coffee. This washed lot shows clean orange-like acidity, caramel sweetness, and a delicate cocoa finish. It is balanced and often serves as an ideal introduction to Central American coffee.

Why It’s Popular

It is not as wild as experimental coffees, but it does almost everything well: clean, sweet, smooth, and consistent. That broad appeal is exactly why it remains so popular.
