Costa Rica Puente Tarrazú Gesha

We are excited to once again be featuring Rodolfo Rivera’s coffee from the Puente Tarrazú micro-mill in Costa Rica. We first evaluated Rodolfo’s coffee while visiting our friends at Exclusive Coffees in San José, Costa Rica. Exclusive’s founder, Francisco Mena, is a champion of the micro-mill revolution that has taken place in Costa Rica over the last fifteen years. Francisco works with over one hundred micro-mills scattered throughout Costa Rica’s growing regions, offering training to producers and a platform for their coffees to be shared with coffee roasters throughout the world.

This fully-washed process Gesha variety lot comes from Rodolfo’s small farm, Finca San Martín, in the esteemed Tarrazú growing region. Rodolfo and his family collaborate with families in the community to operate the Puente Tarrazú micro-mill, where coffee from neighboring farms are processed.

We treasure our relationships in the global coffee community and invest in projects at origin to support our partners in their commitment to environmental sustainability and social welfare. We also invest in reducing our day-to-day impact, through initiatives like energy-efficient Loring Smart Roasters to reduce carbon emissions per batch by 80%.
