An intense coffee with full aroma and sharp, vibrant acidity, our Costa Rica Azalea is a truly unique coffee suitable for all brewing methods. The Azalea is a flower of peculiar yet exquisite aroma, one of nature's true beauties. The flower like our coffee is a symbol of the unique splendours that made Costa Rica's Central Valley legendary. Azalea is produced on farms that transcend this stunning valley of Costa Rica. The strong influence of volcanic soil in the Central Valley combined with the dry, Pacific climate and two very distinct seasons during the course of the year allow for the perfect development of coffee cherries in this region.

Customers praise this medium roast for its "smooth" taste, "beautiful aroma," and "lovely caramel undertones with a fruity aftertaste." Many call it their "favourite," citing chocolate notes and low bitterness. However, some found it lacks body, too acidic, or lighter than expected for those seeking dark roasts. Overall, highly rated for daily drinking.

Not sure at all

Got it for my birthday and I had a really high hopes for this one as I wanted to taste coffee from the Central/Western valley of Costa Rica. I have been drinking a wide variety of dark roasts over the course of few years and have to say that unfortunately this one doesn't cut it at all.
- I would say that It was a medium roast at best, definitely looked lighter than other dark roasts I have had.
- Pretty acidic.
- Not much aroma at all.
- Taste was just... I would say - flat, perhaps (even for the medium roast).

If you are after a truly dark roast - maybe skip this coffee, unless of course I was just super unlucky with bag I got.

Gorgeous coffee

First purchase from this company and definitely won't be our last. This coffee is a dark roast that really delivers. Strong enough but definitely not overpowering. Flavours are great, chocolatey. Absolutely lovely coffee. Gorgeous colour with lovely caramel undertones and a fruity after taste. Really impressed with the delivery and the packaging is superb. Will definitely be making more purchases.

Lovely aroma and roast

Having visited Costa Rica and tried some of their coffee during the visit I wanted to try some more on my return home. Found this variety on the coffee direct website and now I'm on my third bag. I like the subtle floral backdrop to the medium strength of the roast. Will be buying again!

My god, this is the smoothest coffee I've tried so far!

Absolutely incredible coffee. No bitterness, insanely smooth, and pleasing floral notes with a very slight acidity.

The flavour is not strong, but tasting for a few seconds really highlights the depth of flavour here. You taste something new and exciting with each sip!

A good tasty brew

I use a cafetière and really like this flavour. It’s not too strong but has a lovely coffee smell and a smoothness that suits me.

One of my favourites

Much better than the regular Costa Rica. My wife can instantly tell the difference when I surprise her with a cup in the morning. One of her favourites as well
