- Award Winning Flavor – Our premium espresso blend scores high marks in the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA)Ratings. This certification is granted only to a few specialty coffee makers that meet their rigorous technical requirements which are based on organoleptic features, proper water temperature, brewing time, and ability to brew within the SCA Golden Cup recommendations.
- Costa Rican Coffee Is Unique – Did you know that Costa Rica is the only country in the world where only 100% Arabica coffee is cultivated? The volcanic soil is ideal for coffee, allowing deep drainage and for more minerals to access the plants. Consistent weather and predictable temperature fluctuation heighten the process of maturation. In higher altitudes the fruits develop slower, characterized by a higher concentration of sugars, more complexity and density.

Developed in our house roastery, our espresso blend beans offer a robust flavor that you’ll be sure to savor. Defined by its well balanced acidity and body, creamy long-lasting clean aftertaste, sweet flavor and aroma. Say hello to your new favorite cup.

Costa Rican Coffee is unique!
Costa Rica is the only country in the world where the Arabica coffee variety is cultivated. Volcanic soil of the land is great for coffee, allowing deep drainage for perfect mineral access to plants. Highly acidic and rich in nutrients such as magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and zinc, it affects the body of the grain. Weather consistency and changes in temperature affect the process of maturation. At high altitudes the fruits develop slower and are characterized by higher concentration of sugars, more complexity and density.
