1820 Café 1820 Costa Rican Whole Bean Coffee 35 oz - 100% Arabica Dark Roast, High-Altitude Fruity & Cocoa Notes

Café 1820 Whole Bean is a 35 oz, 100% Arabica, dark-roast Costa Rican coffee blend crafted from high-altitude beans for a full-bodied cup with fruity and chocolate notes.

Roasted for depth and kept whole to preserve aromatics until you grind, Café 1820 combines beans sourced from three top Costa Rican growing zones. The beans are cultivated above 1,100 meters in volcanic soils, roasted to a dark profile, and packaged to maintain freshness so home brewers and espresso lovers can extract the intended flavor and body. This description explains what the coffee is, how it performs in common brewing routines, and why the packaging and origin matter for taste.

What flavor profile can I expect from Café 1820 whole beans?

You can expect a bold, dark-roast character balanced by subtle fruity undertones and cocoa-like hints. The roast emphasizes rich body and a refined bitterness that complements dairy or black preparations alike.

• Dark roast backbone with clean, lingering finish
• Fruity notes that add brightness without acidity overload
• Cocoa/chocolate hints to round out sweetness
• Pronounced body for milk-based drinks and espresso

How should I grind and brew these whole beans for the best result?

Grind size depends on your brew method: coarse for French press, medium for drip, and fine for espresso. Grind just before brewing to capture the aroma and flavor preserved by whole-bean storage.

• French press: coarse grind, steep 4–5 minutes
• Drip/auto: medium grind, use a 1:15–1:17 coffee-to-water ratio
• Espresso: fine grind, tamp evenly for concentrated extraction
• Adjust dose to taste; darker roast tolerates slightly coarser grind

Where do these beans come from and why does altitude matter?

The blend is sourced from three premier Costa Rican coffee zones, grown at elevations over 1,100 meters in volcanic, mineral-rich soil. Higher altitude slows bean maturation, producing denser beans with more developed flavor compounds and clearer aromatic complexity.

• Three-region Costa Rican blend for layered flavor
• High-altitude growth yields denser, more flavorful beans
• Volcanic soils contribute to pronounced aroma and body
• Careful sourcing and roast profiling preserve regional character

How does the packaging keep the coffee fresh and easy to use?

Café 1820 whole beans come in a specially designed bag that protects aroma and prevents premature staling. The packaging combines a barrier film with a freshness valve and resealable closure so beans remain aromatic between uses.

• Resealable bag preserves aroma after opening
• One-way freshness valve releases gases without letting air in
• Opaque material protects from light and moisture
• 35 oz size suits frequent drinkers and shared households

Who is this for: Café 1820 appeals to home baristas, espresso enthusiasts, and anyone who prefers grinding beans immediately before brewing to maximize aroma and taste. It suits shoppers who want a bold, dark roast with nuanced fruit and chocolate notes, packaged in a larger economy size for daily use or small offices. If you value high-altitude origin, a pronounced body for milk-based drinks, and freshness-preserving packaging, this blend was created with you in mind.
