Costa Rica San Jose Coffee - Mr Higgins Recommends
Costa Rica has for decades been renowned for producing some of the world’s finest coffees. They are famous and sought after by coffee lovers all over the world for their intensity of flavour and aroma. In the early 1950’s when I joined H R Higgins (Coffee-Man) Ltd., Costa Rica was referred to in the coffee trade as the little Switzerland of Central America because of its terrain.
On a visit to our suppliers earlier this year my son David experienced first hand seeing the healthy coffee trees in the breathtaking beautiful mountains. Costa Rica San Jose coffee is rich in flavour with a nutty like background and natural subtle fruity sweetness. Perfect for drinking with Spring and Summer Time foods.

Costa Rica coffee facts

Costa Rican Coffee is considered to be some of the best in the world. The Costa Rica San Jose is a truly unique coffee with delicate fruity notes of lychee and pear and a sweet, honey finish, prepared using the Honey Process.

Only the finest coffee beans are exported thanks to The Speciality Association of Costa Rica who control all coffee distribution in Costa Rica.

Farmers from The Coopedota Cooperative Hermosa grow the coffee and they are renowned for producing award-winning coffee.
They were also recognised as the first carbon neutral coffee producer in the world. Costa Rica San Jose coffee is best enjoyed black to unlock the full flavour profile. We recommend brewing this coffee for filter or pour over.

With my very best wishes for May

Sincerely

Tony Higgins

Mr Higgins Recommends - Peru Inambari

Peru is renowned not only for its dramatic landscapes but also for its exceptional coffee. This October, Mr Higgins recommends Peru Inambari, an Organic and Fairtrade coffee from Caijamarca. Dark roasted to enhance its smooth, full-bodied richness, it is a versatile choice—perfect at breakfast, mid-morning, or as a refined after-dinner cup.

Mr Higgins Recommends - 1942

Created by David Higgins as a tribute to his grandfather, our 1942 Blend carries the story of a family business born in wartime London. From an attic roastery five flights up, to the rich aroma drifting across Oxford Street, Tony Higgins recalls the moments, the rituals, and the first cups of the day that shaped his life in coffee.

Mr Higgins Recommends - Colombia Supreme

Mr Higgins turns to a favourite he returns to time and again — Colombia Supreme. A coffee of natural sweetness and remarkable versatility, it’s as delightful with milk as it is taken black. With mellow chocolate notes and gentle acidity, Colombia Supreme is perfectly suited to any time of day, and every style of preparation. Mr Higgins shares fond memories, tasting notes, and the storied journey of this exceptional origin.
