About This Coffee

Monte Copey sits high in the Dota Valley of Tarrazu, one of Costa Rica's most celebrated growing regions. Across roughly 20 hectares split into several small plots, the Navarro family grows coffee separated by variety, plot and picking date, then processes it at their own micro mill. The same local families have returned to pick here for two decades, trained to harvest only perfectly ripe cherries and to sort by hand.

Enrique Navarro took on the running of the farm at seventeen, and the family has steadily lifted both quality and output ever since. They farm sustainably — environmentally friendly fertilisers, no pesticides, and a yearly soil analysis to keep the land healthy. Lots are cupped regularly so the team can fine-tune each batch, and that care shows in the cup: a clean, high-grown coffee with quiet elegance and real sweetness.

How to Brew Costa Rica Monte Copey

No recipe came with this lot, so here is a reliable filter starting point. Adjust to taste.

Method Pour-over / V60
Coffee 15 g
Water 250 g
Ratio 1:16.5
Water temp 94–96°C
Grind Medium
Brew time 2:30–3:00

If the cup tastes thin or sour, grind a little finer; if it turns bitter or dry, grind coarser.

How Much Coffee Is in a Bag?

At about 15 g per filter cup, a 250 g bag brews roughly 16 cups and the 1.5 kg bag around 100 cups. With a single origin like this, every cup is a chance to taste a specific lot from a single Costa Rican farm — small-lot coffee you will not find on a supermarket shelf.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this better as espresso or filter?
Filter. Its delicate, floral, dried-fruit character and light roast really open up as a pour-over or other filter method. You can pull it as espresso for a bright, fruit-forward shot, but filter shows it at its best.

What does it taste like?
Clean and elegant, with dried fruit and berry sweetness, a soft floral note and a light body. It finishes long and gentle rather than heavy or roasty.

How fresh is it?
We roast to order in Kuala Lumpur and ship within one week of your roast date, so it reaches you fresh. For filter coffee, rest the beans two to four days after roasting, then enjoy over the following few weeks.

What grind should I use?
Start with a medium grind for pour-over. If your cup tastes thin or sour, grind a little finer; if it tastes bitter or drying, grind coarser. Small adjustments make a big difference.

Do you offer free shipping?
Yes. Free shipping within Malaysia on orders over RM80.
