Costa Rican Coffee

Bienvenidos Amigos

You have found Premium Costa Rican Tarrazu farm fresh organic coffee. The Costa Rica Tarrazu District's premiere coffee farms are located on the slopes of the Talamanca Mountains surrounding the Tarrazu Valley.

Our Costa Rica Tarrazu Coffees have built a reputation as the world's highest quality. Using age-old processes dating back centuries and incorporating the latest in state of the art technology, Premium Costa Rica Tarrazu region consistently delivers a superior coffee with an unforgettable, mellow flavor.

Our superior quality coffees begin with the healthiest Costa Rican Tarrazu Arabica Coffee trees grown in fertile, volcanic soil enhanced with a blend of natural nutrients and minerals. Continuous soil testing is performed to insure that every generation of Premium Costa Rica Tarrazu Coffee grows in a soil mixture with an optimum nutrient composition.

Geography and climate are factors that confer the ability to harvest a fine coffee. The combination of soil, temperature, sunlight, wet and dry seasons must all meet the right formula. The small, high mountainous Costa Rican Tarrazú region, south of San José, has the ideal conditions. If you want outstanding Tarrazú coffee you are going to find it in San Marcos de Tarrazú.

Tarrazú Coffee Farms are the highest altitude coffees from this origin, and the last coffee cherry to ripen is the highest altitude which are located in Tarrazú County.

Gravel roads connect the farms with the nearby towns of Santa María, San Pablo and San Marcos, famous around the world for being the towns where pioneers exported the first Tarrazú coffee bags to Europe. We harvest very few ¨fanegas¨ a year.

Tarrazú Coffee Farms have always been concerned for the environment. The costly investment in woodlands and shade trees in our farm is a good example.

A coffee tree takes 4 years from planting to first harvest. Any decision in using certain variety of coffee is carefully examined. The coffee trees must be plague-resistant and above all able to give an excellent cup. The coffee we harvest include not only the classic Typica variety but also the modern Caturra Arabica variety.

To grow coffee is like taking care of a garden mostly because everything is done by hand. The process begins each April with the coffee trees flowering after the first rains. Harvest begins in October and ends around Mid March.

Tarrazú coffee has been recognized for many years among the great gourmet coffees in the world. Using this superb raw material, we have taken the time, the effort and cost to prepare a coffee that no one can match. We have a crew of pickers well trained to harvest only the ripest of cherries. It is important for the quality of the cup the cherries are harvested at the right time. This is why each tree is visited up to 4 times in order to obtain only the very best of the fruit. We harvest all the coffee beans by hand to ensure the quality of the bean and the cup.

The demand for our high-quality, freshly roasted coffee is high. To guarantee the richest aroma and flavor, we package and ship our coffee fresh for your enjoyment. From seed to cup, we take our time to deliver the finest coffee in the world.
