Best Kona Coffee vs. Best Costa Rican Coffee - Smackdown!

For over a decade, I’ve been extolling how fantastically smooth and flavorful the best Costa Rican Coffee can be. I think it’s high-time that we test this against the world renowned best Kona coffee. For full details see: https://www.lakecitycoffee.com/best-k... Great Coffee Starts With Great Beans Let’s face it, not all coffee beans are created equal. Before comparing the best Kona coffee to the best Costa Rican coffee, let’s look at why these two coffees are some of the smoothest and most flavorful coffees in the world. Very few coffees in the world can say all that’s listed below, but both our Costa Rican and Kona coffee can. Single Origin (all the beans come from the same field) SHB – “Strictly High Grown Bean”, i.e. over 1,200 meters above sea level Shade Grown Hand Picked Mountain Water Washed Sun Dried Hand Sorted Burlap Bagged, lined with A Plastic GrainPro Bag (to keep the beans dry). Best Costa Rican Coffee Sadly, most coffee companies never taste test the beans that they buy. On rare occasion a company will taste test two or three beans. Each year we taste test about two dozen different beans, all from the Tarrazu region of Costa Rica. The beans that we’re searching for must be super smooth with prominent notes of chocolate, with a variety of minor notes, such as citrus, bark, nut, earthy, etc. Additionally, the flavors must be well balanced and sophisticated. Single Origin For our best Costa Rican Coffee test, we’ll use our 2022 choice of Costa Rican La Pastora Tarrazu SHB/EP beans. These beans are the very best beans that I’ve ever tasted from Costa Rica. They are also the most expensive beans that I’ve every purchased from Cost Rica. Each of these La Pastora beans are “single origin”, thus these beans are not just grown and picked from the same field, but they are also picked on the same day and therefore have the same lot number. As I said, we’re picky. La Pastora’s Roast These La Pastor beans roast very well from medium brown to very dark brown (almost but not quite black). For this taste test, I’ve roasted these beans to a medium dark, a mere 24 hours before the taste test. Best Whole Bean Coffee Review OMG! You talk about smooth as silk. Cleopatra would have died for sheets as smooth as this coffee. Smooth is great, but the taste was even better. The strong notes of chocolate, with a hint of nut, was nothing short of amazing. Here’s the weird thing about this coffee. If you make it stronger than normal, this bean’s true nature comes out. Unlike it’s weaker cousin, the stronger version of the La Pastor has strong cherry notes, right along with its strong notes of chocolate. Best Kona Coffee Review This Kona coffee starts off really smooth. There isn’t a hint of bitterness. This is unique for any coffee. Again, this Kona is the first coffee that I’ve ever tasted that could equal the Costa Rican Tarrazu La Pastor for smoothness. I was very pleasantly surprised. Once you get past the shock of how smooth the coffee is, the next thing is the obvious floral notes. The floral notes are prominent at the front, middle, and backend of the taste. There is also a wonderful hint of berry. I found this coffee to be very enjoyable, which is a rare thing for me, since I’m so picky about coffee. Bottom line; I liked Royal Coffee’s Hawaii Kona Extra Fancy coffee beans! Conclusion = QPR In this side-by-side comparison between the best Kona coffee and the best Costa Rican coffee, I say, they both taste pretty darn good. They’re both smooth as silk, rich, and the flavors are well balanced. So, which is better? Frankly, with coffee this good, it’s mostly a matter of personal preference. I like smooth chocolate, you might like smooth floral with wonderful cherry notes. There is only one major difference. Cost. As a comparison, in the wine world, the Quality to Price Ratio, (QPR) is very important. You can buy a pretty darn good Pino Noir for $25. Or for $125, you can buy a Pino Noir that’s maybe 5-10% better. Which is the better buy? It depends on your budget and your palate. The same can be said in this comparison between the best Kona coffee and the best Costa Rican coffee. The QPR definitely leans toward the Costa Rican as a much better bang for your buck.
