“Café de Costa Rica Hard Bean,” or “Strictly Hard Bean” (SHB), refers to coffee beans grown at high altitudes (over 4,500 feet) in Costa Rica. These beans are known for their harder and denser nature, resulting in a more consistent and flavourful cup. Costa Rica is a major producer of SHB coffee, with the Tarrazu region being particularly renowned for its quality.
SHB beans are grown in mountainous regions, where cooler temperatures and slow maturation lead to denser and harder beans.
The density of the beans results in a more consistent cup of coffee with a rich and balanced flavour profile.
SHB beans often exhibit notes of chocolate, nuts, and fruit, depending on the specific region and roasting process.
The Tarrazu region is known for its excellent SHB coffee, along with other regions like the Central Zone and the region of Grecia.
