Sourcing

This coffee is cultivated on an expansive farm that balances 890 acres of coffee with over 800 acres of protected forest, fostering a rich and unique growing environment. The farm’s location beside Parque Nacional La Amistad, one of the largest protected reserves in the region, enhances the coffee’s distinctive terroir. With a longstanding commitment to sustainability, Rio Negro was the first farm in Costa Rica to earn Rainforest Alliance certification and uses innovative, water-saving processing methods to ensure environmentally responsible sourcing.

Roasting

Roasted to a medium level to emphasize structure and sweetness, this coffee showcases tasting notes of cashew, cherry, chamomile, and Meyer lemon. A juicy body and gentle floral acidity make it ideal for filter brews—elevated and expressive without being fussy.
