A cup of pure Costa Rican coffee is a refreshing treat. With an excellent balance between a light body and acidity, Costa Rican coffees taste remarkably clean. You will find a classic coffee taste with hints of chocolate and bright citrus flavors.

Café Vida comes from the Cooperativa de Productores de Café y Servicios Múltiples de Naranjo R.L. (Coopronaranjo R.L.) located in of the province of Alajuela in Costa Rica´s lush Central Valley. This coop was founded in 1968 by 98 members and now consists of 2,500 producers farming lands less than 1 hectare. Café Vida consists of mainly caturra and catuai varietals that are carefully selected by hand. Coopronaranjo R.L. encourages its members to observe sustainable production methods. The use of agrochemicals is minimized, native species are used for shade trees, and farm byproducts are used to produce organic fertilizer through vermiculture.

Tarrazu County is in the Central Valley of Costa Rica, with Alajuela sitting on the Northern end. We decided to stick with this specific source of beans, rather then a larger co-op in the valley.
