COSTA RICA CERRO LA CRUZ #1629

This Costa Rican microlot is rich and sweet like toffee date cake (coffee date... get it??) with notes of chocolate-covered almonds and a long, sweet finish like a Werther's caramel candy.

Tastes Like: Candied Almond, Dark Chocolate, Caramel, Date

Curator’s Notes: This Costa Rican microlot is so rich, sweet, and savory, I fell in love at first sip! It's a lighter roast, but the profile is so robust and flavorful, I'd recommend it to medium-roast drinkers as well. To me, this coffee tastes like someone stirred in a spoonful of caramel sauce and dark chocolate syrup after they brewed it — if you like a caramel macchiato from time to time (and don't we all?), this is the black coffee version for sure. Cerro La Cruz comes from the Tarrazu mountains, one of the top growing regions in Costa Rica, and Wisconsin-based Ruby Coffee Roasters was the first roaster in the U.S. to source coffee from this farm. This lot is direct trade and exclusive to Ruby.

Bottom Line: You’ll love this coffee if you love caramel sauce, single origins with mild acidity, and dark chocolate-covered almonds.

Available for a limited time only! Enjoy a romantic "coffee date" with the date coffee, Ruby's exclusive Costa Rica Cerro La Cruz. Don't let it be the one that got away...
