Costa Rica Los Santos is not simply a beautiful origin — it is a place where coffee reflects a way of living. In this mountainous heartland of southern Costa Rica, balance defines everything: the rhythm of daily work, the relationship between people and land, and ultimately, the character of the coffee itself.
For Blagu, choosing Los Santos was not about chasing intensity or spectacle. It was about finding harmony — a coffee that feels composed, generous, and quietly confident, cup after cup.
A Region Selected for Consistency and Integrity
Located in San José Province, Los Santos encompasses the renowned districts of Dota, León Cortés Castro, and Tarrazú. This highland region is widely regarded as Costa Rica’s most prestigious coffee area, shaped by volcanic soil, cool mountain air, and steady rainfall.
Blagu sources exclusively from Los Santos to preserve consistency in flavor and structure. By focusing on a single, clearly defined origin, each harvest expresses the same core identity: clean sweetness, rounded body, and refined acidity — the signature of Latin American specialty coffee at its best.
From Handpicked Cherries to Clean Precision
Every cherry destined for Blagu Costa Rica Los Santos is hand-harvested at peak ripeness. At the end of each harvest day, the coffee is delivered directly to the wet mill, where processing begins without delay.
Through the night, cherries are depulped and thoroughly washed to remove all mucilage. The coffee is then sun-dried on patios before undergoing final low-temperature mechanical drying with controlled airflow. This careful sequence preserves clarity while protecting the bean’s internal structure — a hallmark of high-quality washed coffee.
The result is reliability without uniformity: each year delivering cups that are sweet, balanced, and expressive, while remaining unmistakably Los Santos.
What You Taste in the Cup
Costa Rica Los Santos offers a profile that feels welcoming yet refined. Creamy body forms the foundation, carrying soft sweetness and gentle acidity in perfect proportion. Notes of milk chocolate and almond emerge first, followed by bright citrus accents and a subtle wine-like depth that lingers on the finish.
Nothing dominates. Everything flows.
This is a coffee built for everyday pleasure — elevated, but never demanding.

Blagu’s Expression of Los Santos
At Blagu, roasting Costa Rica Los Santos is an exercise in restraint. Guru, Blagu’s master roaster, develops the roast to preserve natural sweetness while gently unfolding chocolate and nut tones. The medium roast allows the coffee’s creamy texture and citrus lift to coexist without tension.
This approach reflects Blagu’s philosophy: European craft in technique, Vietnamese soul in feeling — where precision serves emotion, not the other way around.
A Coffee That Represents Balance
Costa Rica Los Santos stands proudly as a Premium Specialty Coffee not because it shouts, but because it endures. It is coffee shaped by thoughtful farming, careful processing, and respectful roasting — a reflection of a land where quality is lived, not marketed.
A cup that feels complete.
A coffee chosen not once, but again and again.
