| The Costa Rican Cumbre Tarrazu bean, green vs. roasted |
"The best (Strictly Hard Bean) are big, clean, with bright to rich acidity and full body. They generally are authoritative, resonant, and emphatic rather than complex and nuanced. The most distinguished regions are Tariazu, Tres Rios and West Valley, including the Volcan Poas district. Many outstanding estate coffees, including the celebrated La Minita." Quote by Kenneth Davis

If you review all the available coffee beans from the different countries, you can establish an clear average of how the general coffee bean will taste, also referred too as the classic cup - a cup that possess the traditional balanced coffee that has no defects or taints. Coffee cupels call it clean, which isn't the same description as boring. Nevertheless many Costa Ricas from the large farms and mills are exactly that; middle-of-the-road arabicas, but there can be more to a Costa Rican coffee than neutrality. They are prized for their high notes: bright citrus or berry-like flavors in the acidity, with distinct nut-to-chocolate roast flavors.
