After years of ordering coffee from Costa Rica I went in search of a blend that was similar. I found Cowboy Blend. As a mixture of beans with different roasting levels, it compares favorably with what I got from Costa Rica. The coffee is rich, dark, and powerful. If you want coffee with real character, Cowboy Blend is a good choice. I brew it at 170 degrees to avoid the acidic aspect resulting from boiling water. The brew lasts in the refrigerator for up to a week, though there is a gradual loss in the complex flavors. It is best just after steeping for 10 minutes. I use a french press and then triple filter the brew.
