Costa Rica
Every month, one coffee stands out.
Tucked away in the lush mountains of southern Costa Rica, Pérez Zeledón is a coffee-growing paradise. Towering mountains, winding rivers, and rich, fertile soils create the perfect conditions for growing exceptional coffee. It's here, on the slopes of the Talamanca Mountains, that smallholder farmers have been cultivating coffee for generations, a tradition dating back to the late 1800s.
Grown at elevations of 1,200 to 1,750 meters, this month's coffee begins as ripe red cherries, carefully harvested by local farmers before making their way to the El General Mill. There, the cherries undergo a fully washed process that highlights the beans' natural sweetness and bright, clean flavors. Varieties like Caturra, Catuai, and Obatá thrive in this mountainous landscape, developing the balanced, vibrant character that makes Costa Rican coffee so special.
The result? A beautifully smooth, naturally sweet cup with lively acidity, delicate complexity, and a crisp, refreshing finish. A little taste of Costa Rica's mountains, delivered straight to your door.
A smooth cup.
Smooth milk chocolate up front, rich, buttery nougat through the middle, and a juicy burst of stone fruit, followed by a bright touch of clementine on the finish. Sweet, silky, and beautifully balanced, with just the right amount of citrus to keep every sip refreshing.
From the mountains to your cup.
Nestled along the southeastern slopes of Costa Rica’s Talamanca Mountains, Pérez Zeledón is a region where lush valleys, winding rivers, and fertile mountain soils create ideal conditions for growing exceptional coffee. Grown at elevations between 1,200 and 1,750 meters, this lot comes from smallholder farmers in Páramo, where coffee cultivation has been a cherished tradition since the late 1800s. Carefully harvested at peak ripeness, the coffee cherries are delivered to the El General Mill, where they undergo a meticulous fully washed process to bring out their natural sweetness and clarity. Supported by the Volcafe Way program, these farmers combine generations of coffee-growing knowledge with sustainable farming practices, producing a coffee that reflects the rich heritage and remarkable landscape of southern Costa Rica.
