In reply to C. Westpfahl. Hi! Thank you so much for commenting. I honestly do not know the answer to this question, but you may be able to reach out to the smaller growers and ask. I usually have a lot of luck with WhatsApp. Good luck! ~Christa

I am diabetic and many organic coffee’s Ive tried significantly spike my blood sugar. I would like to find a light, natural washed arabica coffee bean from costa Rica. How are the Coope coffee’s you mention washed?

In reply to Glenn. I love this feedback. It's funny how coffee tastes different to every palate.

I read this article and a few others recommending (of the big commercial brands), Cafe Britt, Cafe Rey, and 1820. Britt is about twice as expensive as the other two (while still really not expensive), so I did a taste test between Rey and 1820.

I think 1820 is pretty bland (I guess the kind word is “smooth”) that’s like cafeteria coffee. It’s water flavored like coffee, but neither offensive nor notable. But Rey has that deeper “Oooh, coffee” taste that makes it a clear choice for me between those two.

l have been to Costa Rica many times and I love the 1820 ☕. It is the best. I used to bring coffee back in my suit case. I would like to order the coffee here in Tucson, AZ USA.
