NEW PRODUCER!

 

Our finest syrupy coffee from Costa Rica! A delight for the taste buds.

El Salitre will please you with its notes of chocolate, grape juice and apple.

In 2015, the Alvarado Fonseca family launched the Corazón de Jesús micro-mill in the Brunca region of southern Costa Rica, an area known for producing nearly 20% of the country's coffee. Today, family member Jhon Alvarado Abarca continues this legacy of artisanal, high-quality production. The family is renowned for its meticulous processing methods and commitment to producing traceable microlots.

This batch features the Catuai variety, a compact, high-yielding cultivar developed from Mundo Novo and Caturra. It is perfectly adapted to the high-altitude conditions of the Brunca region and produces excellent results using natural methods.

After harvesting, the cherries are carefully selected and dried whole, enhancing the coffee's body and sweetness while preserving its clarity. The result is a lively and intensely fruity cup that showcases both Brunca's terroir and Jhon's precision post-harvest work.
