We practice fair trade. Café Britt pays above-market
prices to growers who consistently produce outstanding crops.
"Fair- commerce” or "social" certifications were conceived for
roasters based abroad, far-removed from the cultural and national
identity that coffee has produced in countries like Costa Rica
and Peru. But a new business model is brewing at Café Britt…and
it’s our best social certification. As a country-of-origin roaster,
we believe that producing countries are more than raw material
suppliers to intermediaries in other countries, we believe that
these developing countries, their small farms and communities,
can export the finished product with all its value added in
the country of origin. We educate and help them implement sustainable
practices. They stay with us because we’re responsible. And
we remain committed to them because our success depends on their
success.
When you buy Café Britt coffee you are contributing to the sustainable
development of coffee producing countries.
Misty ecosystems
and fertile soil. Altitude and legend. The conditions
that produce Café Britt’s “Poas Volcanic Earth” have
been nurtured over the millennia on the slopes of Costa
Rica’s most-visited active volcano. Every cup produces
the same exhilaration as a lucky glimpse of the volcano’s
deep-blue crater lake.
It’s widely recognized
that the natural sweetness and intensity of
Costa Rica’s
pure, mountain-grown Arabica beans make some of the
best espresso. Café Britt enhances this uniqueness by
carefully selecting and slowly roasting only the choicest
gourmet coffee beans for a full-bodied flavor and rich
consistency. Our Espresso pods contain just the right
amount of coffee to create a delicious Cappuccino, Cubano
or Macchiato. These pods are specially designed to use
in espresso or pod machines. Each box contains 30 individual
pods, 0.25 oz each.
A must try for coffee lovers who crave
the best. Backed by two centuries of expertise and nurtured
amid cool volcanic mountains and an ideal climate, the
coffees of the Tres Rios region are considered "the
Bordeaux" of Costa Rica. Dark roasted, the penetrating,
honey-nut aroma of Café Britt Tres Rios compliments
the hints of plum and allspice in its elegant, complex
flavor. This coffee caresses the palate with a memorable
soft and friendly finish.
Experience Tarrazu
Montecielo, a blend for the coffee connoisseurs with
a penchant for perfection. Grown in the rich volcanic
soils of Costa Rica’s famed Tarrazu region, these choice
Arabica cherries are ripened evenly at 1,400 to 1,600
meters, hand-picked, sun dried and dark roasted for
a unique taste. Café Britt Tarrazu will surprise you
with a flavor that hints of cacao and grapefruit and
an aroma of aged wood and dark chocolate. Its intensity
fills the palate, then fades cheerfully.
Atarrazú is the Indian word for “rocky
ground at the mouth of the mountain”. Known today as
Tarrazu, this Costa Rican region has been recognized
to produce one of the world’s best gourmet coffees.
Our Café Britt Tarrazu comes 100% from small farms in
this region; owned and managed by growers who’ve become
our friends & associates. We visit them and help them
improve cropping practices. They share our standards
of excellence and we recognize their hard work by paying
them fair prices for their crop. The result is remarkable.

Café Britt’s Organic rich flavor hints of apple and
laurel, its aroma of freshly tilled soil. This coffee
lingers on the palate and stays on the mind. Dark roasted,
Café Britt Organic is harvested from plantations that
use 100% organic materials to improve and fertilize
the soil. In this way, soil quality is ensured, and
ground water protected. The coffee bushes flourish under
the shady embrace of native tree species, which increases
the plantation’s biodiversity by attracting migrating
birds and other animals. This makes for long-term sustainability
of the region’s agro-ecosystem.
Café Britt has been cultivating and processing
certified organic
coffee since 1991.
You won’t believe you’re drinking
decaf! Enjoy the taste of Costa Rican export-quality
coffee without the caffeine. Café Britt Decaffeinated
is carefully dark roasted for a delicate, clean taste
hinting of honey and clove. An aroma of the seeds and
dry leaves evokes a serene autumn afternoon. Its complexity
intensifies as it cools, for a finish tinged with nostalgia.
Café Britt sends the highest quality
beans to Europe to be decaffeinated using the indirect
water process. In this process, water is mixed with
steamed beans to draw out their caffeine. The caffeinated
water is then separated from the beans and decaffeinating
agent is added to the water to remove the caffeine.
Later, the decaffeinated water is reintroduced to the
beans to restore any flavor which may have been extracted
during the decaffeination process.
