milk chocolate, jam, and tonic

We really wanted to meet Carlos on our origin trip in 2025 as we were in the same region where he is located, but unfortunately things didn’t pan out. Regardless this coffee is a great value, with touches of bright acidity over an extra rich chocolatey Costa Rica terroir. We had this on espresso for a little while and it was great, I personally love washed Costa Rican coffees on espresso, you can really draw out the nuanced complexity on this guy.

When we think about the people behind our coffee partnerships, Carlos Castro and his team at Rio Jorco Mill hold a special place in our hearts. There's something deeply moving about watching a family pour their resources and energy into reviving not just a coffee mill, but an entire community's livelihood in the mountains of Tarrazú, Costa Rica.

Costa Rica

Costa Rica knows what it takes to produce high-quality beans and has been doing so for over 200 years. Rich volcanic soil and diverse terrain create bright, clean cups ranging from Tarrazú's bold aromas to Occidental's fruity peach notes. But it's their cutting-edge research in coffee that really sets Costa Rica apart from the rest.
