In the breathtaking Brunca region of Costa Rica, at the foothills of Cerro Chirripó, lies Finca Buena Vista. This small collective of 15 neighboring producers shares a commitment to excellence, cultivating Red Catuai coffee at an altitude of 1800 masl. The region, famed for its rich biodiversity and the iconic Quetzal bird, provides the ideal environment for coffee production, with its unique climate and fertile soil.

The Red Catuai cherries for this lot were harvested in late January, a time when the cherries reach their peak ripeness, resulting in balanced and mature flavors. Following the natural processing method, the coffee cherries are meticulously dried on African beds for approximately four days, ensuring a refined flavor profile with a fresh and lingering aftertaste.

Proudly includes Finca Buena Vista in its portfolio for the coffee’s unique representation of Costa Rica’s terroir. With notes of plum, honey, and blueberries, accompanied by a delicate aftertaste, this coffee delivers an extraordinary sensory experience, making it a standout choice for coffee enthusiasts.

Caballero coffees are named after Marysabel Caballero, although in reality both Marysabel and her husband, Moises Herrera, create these beautiful coffees. Moises always lovingly says that the star of their work is his wife! They are extremely successful in producing quality coffees and have helped improve the reputation of quality Honduran coffees. Everything they do on the farms is documented and they invest significant time and resources in both new equipment and planting new coffee varieties in order to improve the quality of the coffee.

They are dedicated to the environmental sustainability of their farms and much of their energy and focus goes into improving the soil to ensure a healthy growing environment for the coffee bushes. Therefore, they produce organic compost from cow and chicken manure mixed with coffee cherry pulp and other organic material. This is used in addition to some mineral fertilizer to ensure the coffee plants get the nutrients they need. As you can see, it shows how much they love their work! The most common characteristics in coffees are the rich aroma of fruits, such as red berries, black grape and plum, they have a dense body, complex and juicy finish!
