Costa Rica Tarrazu La Candelilla Estate

Experience a remarkable journey that begins on the steep slopes of Tarrazú in Costa Rica, where the family behind a renowned estate has dedicated decades to perfecting micro-lot production. High in the mountains—rising from 1,500 to 1,900 meters—cherries ripen in rich volcanic soil, developing a vibrant acidity and layered sweetness unique to this microclimate. By embracing small-batch processing, the siblings who operate this estate carefully manage every step, from handpicking ripe cherries to employing eco-friendly washing methods that protect local waterways.

With each cup, you’ll notice the interplay of bright citrus, gentle fruit notes, and a rounded finish that reflects meticulous cultivation. Beyond flavor, this coffee signifies a broader impact: it makes up roughly 3% of the country’s agricultural output and helps position Costa Rica among the top 15 coffee producers worldwide. Choosing these beans supports a family legacy devoted to preserving the land, sustaining local communities, and sharing the genuine character of Tarrazú with coffee lovers everywhere.
