I really like these light blends from SCC and Green Dragon is no exception. It's strong, yet full of flavor. Great when using a french press. It's one of my go to roasts!

FORGED THROUGH FIRE

The soul of Green Dragon was forged in the sun-drenched volcanic slopes of Costa Rica—land as wild as the coffee it grows. Up in the high-altitude farms, where the air is thin and the soil is rich, these beans take their time, toughening up before they’re ready to shine. What comes out of it? A coffee we roast to feature its inherent sweetness and impossibly smooth mouthfeel.

FIERCELY CRAFTED

The Palmichal Mill in Costa Rica’s Central Valley is where small farmers bring their best—no middlemen draining them dry, no waiting months for scraps. Palmichal pays fast and fair, giving farmers what they’re worth and securing some of the finest coffee in the country. They process everything from classic washed lots to bold honey and natural-process micro-lots, proving that quality doesn’t come easy—it’s fought for.

Then there’s Las Lajas, a farm run by the Chacón family, who have been working this land for three generations, pushing boundaries and rewriting the rules. Their 38-hectare farm is a patchwork of microclimates and towering shade trees, each parcel bringing something different to the cup. They’ve earned a reputation for coffees that hit wild and juicy, full of complexity and edge—because they don’t settle, and neither should you.

GREEN DRAGON AWAITS

Costa Rica runs on Caturra and Catuai, two varieties that, when handled right, turn into something special—sweet citrus like orange blossom, crisp green grape, and smooth honeydew. Green Dragon isn’t just another cup of coffee. It’s transformation, forged through fire and patience.

Drink up. The road ahead is long.

What grind should I choose for my brewing method?

Whole Bean

Whole bean coffee is unprocessed and unground, preserving peak freshness and flavor until ground to the desired consistency for various brewing methods.

Espresso

Espresso grind is a fine, powdery grind with a texture like granulated sugar, crafted to create high-pressure extraction, resulting in a rich, concentrated shot with bold flavor and velvety crema.

Aeropress

Aeropress grind is a medium-fine to fine grind, similar to table salt or slightly finer, allowing for versatile brewing times and methods, resulting in a clean, rich, and full-flavored cup.

Cone Filter or V60

Cone filter grind is a medium-fine grind with a consistency similar to table salt, designed to optimize water flow and extraction in cone-shaped coffee makers, enhancing clarity and balanced flavor.

Flat Filter or Cold Brew

Flat filter grind is a medium grind with a consistency like sea salt, ideal for flat-bottom drip brewers, promoting even extraction and producing a balanced, smooth cup of coffee.

Chemex or Kalita

Chemex grind is a medium-coarse grind, similar to coarse sand, designed to ensure a slower extraction and clean, bright cup with pronounced clarity and delicate flavors.

French Press or Clever

French press grind is a coarse grind, with a texture like breadcrumbs or coarse sea salt, allowing for full immersion brewing and producing a rich, full-bodied cup with minimal sediment.

How fresh is your coffee?

Our coffee is roasted fresh to order and ships within 24 hours to ensure peak flavor. For optimal taste, we recommend brewing between 4 and 21 days after the roast date—this allows the coffee to degas and fully develop. After that window, it will still taste great for several weeks (or more), especially if stored in a cool, airtight container.

Do you offer subscriptions?

Our subscription products deliver freshly roasted coffee straight to your door on your schedule, with full flexibility to skip, pause, or customize anytime. Choose from curated options or build your own to match your brew style and flavor preferences. See all subscriptions.
