Costa Rica

This exceptional microlot comes from a small group of farmers in the Santiago microregion of San Ramón, nestled in Costa Rica’s renowned West Valley. Located in Alajuela Province, this coffee-growing region spans the cantons of San Ramón, Palmares, Naranjo, Atenas, and Grecia. Here, farmers, many descended from Central Valley settlers, cultivate coffee on both valley floors and mountain slopes. Thanks to Pacific-influenced weather, the region enjoys stable temperatures, six months of rainfall, and a dry, sunny season ideal for coffee cultivation. Small growers, who make up 85% of the producers, nurture their crops across the area’s diverse terrain. Just an hour from San José, San Ramón’s serene atmosphere has earned it the nickname City of Presidents and Poets.
