This natural lot comes to us from Los Manatiales in the region of Valle Occidental, Costa Rica. Named for the springs of water throughout its 10 hectares, Los Manatiales is owned by the Rodríguez family and managed by Esnider Rodríguez, a 3rd generation coffee farmer. When his family purchased the land 32 years ago, they became the first to plant coffee on the property as it was previously just a grass-filled landscape. Now, the farm is operated by three generations of the Rodríguez family, from grandfather, to father, to son. Located at 1700m, the farm is in an exceptional microclimate that allows them to continuously produce very high-quality coffees.
We roast on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and to ensure the best tasting coffees, orders received after Monday may not be processed or shipped until the following week.
