Costa Rican Speciality Coffee

Our San Jorge FW HB EP coffee hails from Costa Rica's picturesque Brunca region, renowned for its mountainous terrain and fertile volcanic soil—ideal conditions for cultivating exceptional coffee. Grown at altitudes ranging from 700 to 1,100 meters above sea level, this blend of Catuai and Caturra varietals is meticulously produced by members of CoopeAgri R.L., the country's largest farmer cooperative.

Established in 1962, CoopeAgri began with 391 small-scale farmers united to enhance production and market access. Today, the cooperative boasts over 13,000 members, with more than 5,000 dedicated to coffee cultivation. Beyond coffee, CoopeAgri has diversified into various ventures, including supermarkets, gas stations, and cafes, all aimed at improving the livelihoods of its members.

The cooperative places a strong emphasis on social responsibility and environmental sustainability. They have invested significantly in community development, providing medical services, educational programs, and housing renovations. Environmentally, CoopeAgri manages nearly 10,000 hectares dedicated to forest protection and has produced hundreds of thousands of bags of organic fertilizer, supporting both ecological balance and farm productivity.

In processing San Jorge FW HB EP, farmers handpick ripe cherries and deliver them to local wet mills. Utilizing eco-friendly methods, such as centrifugal mucilage removal, the mills minimize water usage and environmental impact.  The result is a fully washed coffee that captivates with its sweet, floral notes, enriched by undertones of cocoa and spices—a true testament to the dedication and expertise of CoopeAgri's farming community.
