  • Process

    This coffee is eco-pulped before being dried under the sun and finished in mechanical dryers. The process highlights sweetness and clarity while preserving the vibrant character of the fruit.

  • Variety

    A blend of Catuai and Caturra grown between 1,550 and 1,950 masl in the Dota region of Costa Rica. These varieties thrive in volcanic soils, producing coffees with bright acidity and balanced sweetness.

  • Tasting Notes

    Bright and expressive with notes of nectarine, orange zest, coconut, and caramel. Juicy stone fruit acidity is balanced by a smooth sweetness and creamy finish.

Producer Profile

There is nowhere like Costa Rica when it comes to coffee cooperatives and Cooperativa de Caficultores de Dota R.L (CoopeDota), which was established in 1960, is one of the finest. It starts with an unmatched commitment to the environment.

CoopeDota has a first of its kind certified carbon-neutral mill, which features hydro-powered energy consumption, water efficient eco-pulpers (also called a demucilager), and mechanical coffee dryers fueled by coffee parchment. Nearly 900 producer-members living throughout the canton of Dota within the province of San Jose, Costa Rica focus their attention on farm management throughout the year and then deliver their cherry to the CoopeDota mill where traceability and quality control are second to none. CoopeDota has an equally intricate model of income diversification with a profitable agriculture supply store and tourism department dedicated to showing off coffee farms to visitors. They also roast their own coffee and operate three cafes and a cupper/barista training center. Their commitment to the environment also extends to the community of Santa Maria de Dota where the cooperative manages trash pickup for the entire town.
