There is a noticeable difference in the two coffees we have from Costa Rica. The La Lapa and the La Minita are from the same region, same growers, and the same plantation, yet there is something unique about both. The La Lapa (named for the region it is grown in) is a great coffee. A medium style coffee that is full of a “nutty” flavor. Perfect for all day drinkers who don’t need a lot of caffeine, or those folks that get the acid burn feeling of too much Joe. The La Minita is named after the Plantation itself. This coffee is basically the very best of the best from Costa Rica. Pickers pick the largest ripest of the beans and quality control ensures that their namesake bean will always be the best.

Do your own taste test? Order some St. Ives La Lapa and La Minita.
