Costa Rica Coffee, Tarrazu Original, Whole Bean, Medium Roast, Fair Trade, Fresh Roasted, 16-ounce

I’ve tried quite a few different coffees from Volcanica Coffee Company now, and overall they’ve been excellent. I’ve brewed them with my Chemex, standard pour-over, French press, and other setups, and the whole-bean coffees have consistently been fresh, aromatic, and noticeably better than most store-bought coffee. One of the best things about Volcanica is the variety. The different origins actually taste different from one another, so it’s been fun trying them side by side and figuring out which ones I like best. The Costa Rica Tarrazu is still one of my favorites. It’s smooth, clean, bright, and nicely balanced with a little citrus-like character and sweetness. Very easy to drink and something I could use as a daily coffee. The Guatemala Huehuetenango was also excellent. Smooth, flavorful, and another easy 5/5. Definitely one I’d buy again. The Colombian Supremo is exactly what I’d expect from a good classic Colombian coffee. Balanced, familiar, easy to drink, and just a really solid everyday bean. Nothing overly weird or experimental, just a very good classic coffee. The Brazil Bracosta Estate was another good one. Smooth, enjoyable, and easy to brew. Another 5/5 for me and a good choice if you want something different from the brighter coffees. The Bolivia Peaberry remains one of the more interesting ones I’ve tried. It has a richer, fuller-bodied character and a deeper flavor than some of the others. My original bag may have been a little older, but it was still very good and I’d still rate it 5/5. The Mexican Medium Roast was smooth, balanced, slightly nutty, and mildly sweet. It’s mellow and easy to drink, and works well as a more traditional everyday cup. The only one I really wasn’t a fan of was the Pumpkin Spice pre-ground coffee. For now I’d give that one a 2/5. It just didn’t do much for me compared to the whole-bean options. I do want to try it again if I can get a whole-bean bag, because I think that would give it a much better chance. At this point, my rough ranking would be: Costa Rica Tarrazu – 5/5 Guatemala Huehuetenango – 5/5 Colombian Supremo – 5/5 Brazil Bracosta Estate – 5/5 Bolivia Peaberry – 5/5 Mexican Medium Roast – 5/5 Pumpkin Spice Pre-Ground – 2/5 Overall, I’ve been very happy with Volcanica. The whole-bean options have been consistently good, there’s a lot of variety, and it’s a great way to try coffees from different regions without everything tasting the same. Definitely recommend the whole-bean coffees if you’re looking to step up your home brewing setup.

Pretty good, but I was left with a slight after-taste that didn't appeal to me; a bit "flat." I blend the beans with another brand to brighten the flavor slightly.

Delicious taste! Tarrazu coffee is the best.

Some of the best coffee I’ve ever tasted. Made several repeat purchases.

My coffee house closed a few months back and I've been searching for a replacement coffee that tasted just as good. I bought a few different kinds online but was not impressed. I thought I'd try Volcano because of their description online and the packaging looks cool! I received the coffee in the mail and opened the box. I was taken aback from the aroma that came out of the box when I opened it. I brewed my first pot and the first sip was so smooth not bitter. The taste was medium in strength just the way I like it. Not too dark or too light. I'm glad I found you!

Arabica is better

OK, but won't buy again.

Fantastic coffee. Great flavor.

Sabor auténtico, ácido y poco amargo. Un acierto. No aconsejable para los que estén acostumbrados al café amargo y fuerte de los bares

Expectacular cafe con cuerpo aroma y casi alma propia.

No me sentí “Wow” por el café. Parece la marca comercial que puede comprar en supermercado.
