About the source

This lot is processed at Beneficio San Diego, one of Costa Rica's oldest and most innovative mills — running since 1888 and still specializing in coffee from the Tarrazú and Tres Ríos regions, sourced through our importer Genuine Origin. It's delivered by a community of smallholder farmers, most working just a few hectares of land, who bring their ripe cherries to the San Diego mill each harvest. Honey processing actually originated in Costa Rica before spreading worldwide: some of the fruit's mucilage — its natural "honey" — is left on the bean during drying, giving the coffee extra sweetness without going fully natural. Tarrazú earned official Denomination of Origin status in 2019, and its farms sit at 1,200–1,800 meters, prized for a cup with fine acidity and full body.
