Volcanica Coffee Costa Rican Reserve Tarrazu Dark Roast Ground 16oz — Full‑Bodied, Bright Acidity

Volcanica Coffee's Costa Rican Reserve Tarrazu is a dark-roast, ground coffee made from 100% Tarrazu beans that deliver a full-bodied, bright yet bold cup, packaged in a 16‑ounce bag with Fair Trade and Rainforest Alliance certifications.

Harvested from high-altitude farms in Costa Rica’s Tarrazú region and roasted to a dark profile, this ground coffee balances pronounced body with lively acidity. Grown on volcanic soils and shade trees, the beans develop concentrated flavors; Volcanica then roasts, tests, and seals the grounds to preserve that character for home brewing. The bag is kosher, Fair Trade Certified and Rainforest Alliance certified, making it a choice that considers both flavor and sourcing practices.
