Costa Rica

Our Caturra & Catuaí Anaerobic comes from Cordillera de Fuego, a micromill in Tarrazú, Costa Rica. In 2015, Luis Eduardo Campos and his partner, Coco, founded Cordillera de Fuego to process coffee from his own farm as well as from neighboring producers. Since 2006, Luis Eduardo has been experimenting with anaerobic processing methods. In an interview we conducted with him, Luis Eduardo shared: “What fulfills me most professionally is helping the producers. I tell my partner that God has given us this tool today—the Cordillera de Fuego micromill. We’re a small company, but we can pass the money we receive from importers and roasters on to the producers. This way, 200 families can live well, independently of the New York Stock Exchange prices.”
