{"product_id":"costa-rica-cafe-vida-washed","title":"Costa Rica Cafe Vida Washed Medium Roast Coffee","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf your favorite coffees lean toward chocolate rather than fruit, this is a good place to start. Costa Rica Cafe Vida is a washed, medium roast coffee with milk chocolate, brownie, and caramel tasting notes and a full, weighty body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe profile is dessert-like without needing to dress up your cup. Think creamy chocolate, deeper cocoa, and a lingering sweet impression. Both drip and espresso tastings have brought out that chocolate-focused character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat to expect in the cup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMilk chocolate:\u003c\/strong\u003e A creamy chocolate impression that leads the profile, especially while the cup is hot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrownie and cocoa:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deeper chocolate notes that become more noticeable as the coffee cools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaramel sweetness:\u003c\/strong\u003e A soft, rounded layer alongside the cocoa.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull body:\u003c\/strong\u003e A dense texture that complements the richer flavor profile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubtle supporting notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Malty depth and a light almond impression, without shifting the focus away from chocolate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are tasting impressions, not added chocolate, caramel, or nuts. What you notice will depend on your water, grind, brewing method, and how long the coffee has rested.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWho is this coffee for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good fit if you enjoy a fuller cup with familiar chocolate and caramel notes. It's an option for an everyday drip routine or for exploring a chocolate-led espresso, especially if strongly fruit-forward coffees aren't what you're after.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMake a cup using your usual method, then taste it again as it cools. The shift from creamy milk chocolate toward cocoa and brownie is part of what makes this profile worth taking your time with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGive it time to settle\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart with about 11 days of rest after roasting for pour-over, or about two weeks for espresso. Earlier pour-over tastings at days 3 and 7 showed earthy notes that were no longer noticeable after day 10. That's a useful reason to give this coffee a little time before deciding what you think.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a brewing recipe you already know as your starting point. If you want to adjust the result, change one variable at a time and compare. Resting recommendations are a guide, not a promise that every setup will taste the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoose your size and grind\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 oz, 12 oz, 2 lb, and 5 lb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhole bean:\u003c\/strong\u003e For grinding to suit your own brewer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGround options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drip, coarse, and espresso grind.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 4 oz size gives you a smaller starting point.
