About this coffee

Country: Costa Rica Region: Chirripó, Brunca Varietal: Caturra Farm: Vista al Chirripó Processing: Anaerobic Natural Altitude: 1300 - 2000 m a.s.l. ABOUT THE FARM This coffee comes from the Chirripó micro-region in southern Costa Rica, where the Ureña Rojas family runs their farms. It is one of the most consistently developed coffee projects in the region — the family micromill Café Rivense, founded in 2005 by Régulo Ureña and Isabel Rojas, and now operated together with their sons: Ricardo, Mario, Esteban, and Luis. The Vista al Chirripó farm sits at elevations reaching up to around 2000 meters above sea level, overlooking Costa Rica’s highest peak, Cerro Chirripó. Lots from this very farm placed 5th in the Cup of Excellence 2019, confirming it as one of the most respected terroirs in the country. The family prioritizes biodiversity, full self-sufficiency, and minimal water usage. The entire production chain — from harvesting and processing to export — is managed by the family themselves, without intermediaries. ABOUT THE COFFEE This is an exceptional lot of Caturra, processed through anaerobic fermentation and dried in the fruit. The method enhances juicy fruit character and deep sweetness, resulting in a profile full of cherry, dried plum, and praline-like creaminess. The cup is smooth and elegant, with a long, sweet finish — ideal for filter brewing. Cherries are selectively handpicked and then placed in sealed tanks for anaerobic fermentation, where they remain in controlled, oxygen-free conditions. This process gives the coffee deeper color, intensity, and a dessert-like character. The fruit is then naturally dried to concentrate sweetness and aromatics. The result? An intense, juicy, velvety coffee with beautifully developed stone fruit acidity. Our rice paper packaging reflects the Kaizen philosophy of continuous improvement in harmony with nature.
