Costa Rica Roger Ureña Hidalgo
White peach, Pear, Chocolate malt
WHY WE LOVE IT: Our sixth release of Roger Ureňa Hidalgo's coffee is memorably sweet, smooth, and fruity.
REGION: Tarrazu
ALTITUDE: 2,000 m
PROCESSING: White Honey
VARIETY: Catuai
This coffee is balanced, sweet, and smooth, giving us the crisp bite of a juicy pear and the delicate fruitiness of a white peach. The white honey processing gives it a slightly creamy mouthfeel with a subtle, delicious fruitiness that sticks with you even after your last sip (and makes you want another cup).
We've now released Roger's coffee for 6 straight years and it has become an annual fan-favorite.
MORE INFO
Roger Ureña Hidalgo was only 15 when he began growing coffee with his father. In the 40 years since, he has learned the ins and outs of the coffee producing industry, growing his business to now include 10 farms and his very own wet mill, Santa Teresa 2000, where he produces some of the finest coffee in Costa Rica. In 2019, Roger placed two coffees in the top 20 of Costa Rica's annual Cup of Excellence competition, where professional coffee graders compare and score the best coffees from around the country.
This coffee is from Roger's farm, Finca El Beto. Roger's continued commitment to experiment and improve his coffee every year is apparent again, and we're very excited to present his coffee to you for the sixth time.

We offer three different grind sizes on the vast majority of our coffee offerings: drip, espresso, and French press.
- Use drip grind if you plan on making your coffee using a coffee machine, in a pour over brewer, or if you want to try a newer way to make your trusty French press.
- Use espresso grind if you have an espresso machine at home. This grind will be very fine and will over-extract (in other words, taste bitter and chalky) in other methods.
- Use French press grind if you are making a coffee in the more traditional French Press method, or making cold brew, or do very large batches in a Chemex (greater than 60 grams of coffee).

Please visit our brewing page here. Coffee brewing is as much an art as it is a science, and it might take a few tries for you to find a sweet-spot that matches your taste preference. We recommend not getting too lost in the "right" way to brew, but instead focus on what you like and try to educate yourself on some best practices. And then just take it from there!
That said, we offer several how-to's for many popular brewers:

Our blends run from medium-light to dark. You can get a full breakdown of the blends in our Blend Buying Guide.
Core Blends include:
700 is our medium-roast core espresso blend that also tastes great as drip.
Cafe Kaldi has been our house blend since 1994. It contains coffee from Ethiopia that gives it a touch of complexity.
Dancing Goats Blend is a little more developed and gives a bit bolder of a cup.
Highlander Grogg is a fan-favorite flavored coffee.
