HOW WE WORK

What every member of the team stands for

Recognition of the producer

An exceptional cup begins with the farmer’s decisions. The identity of the producer and the story of the origin travel with every lot.

Direct trade

Transparent negotiations, traceability and a fair price that recognizes the work, the production costs and the quality of the coffee.

Value added at origin

Careful processing, controlled drying, lot selection and export preparation keep more of the value in Costa Rica.
