Roaster's Notes
This coffee is a natural-processed lot from Finca La Guaca, one of Rivense's several high-elevation growing areas, sitting at 1600 masl and consisting of Caturra and Catuai varieties. It's full of ripe fruit flavors, and does well as a pour over or espresso! The juicy fruit tasting notes lend a sweet quality to this coffee. Café Rivense is a farm and micro-mill founded by Régulo Ureña and Isabel Rojas in 2005 in the Brunca area of Costa Rica, within in a micro-region called Chirripó. Today, Rivense remains a family enterprise run with the participation of their children Ricardo, Mario, Esteban, Luis, and Tatiana. The Rivense operation consists of several lush, garden-like growing areas with distinct names, which deliver cherry to fully integrated wet and dry-milling facilities all within the farm itself, meaning that their coffee is fully prepared for export when it leaves the farm, ensuring both quality and traceability of its products. Rivense's coffees have been recognized for quality numerous times, with one lot notably placing 5th in Costa Rica's Cup of Excellence competition in 2019. The farm is managed sustainably, with a focus on reducing their carbon footprint: proper shade management provides organic material for healthy soil, fertilizer and treatments are applied only when necessary, and all water sources are protected. The Chirripó micro-region itself, located alongside the highest peak in Costa Rica, is a unique micro-climate with flourishing biodiversity, ideally suited to production and processing of speciality coffee. The Ureña family's focus on honey and natural-processed coffees to minimize water usage bolsters this dual mission of sustainability alongside cup quality.
