This yearโs anaerobic lot from Ricardoโs family is truly impressive. After harvest, the whole coffee cherries are sealed tightly in plastic bags and left to ferment for 4 days in an oxygen-free environment. During this time, the coffee develops intensely fruity, boozy, and deeply complex flavor characteristics.
Once fermentation is complete, the cherries are carefully dried on raised beds for 16โ20 days, allowing the flavors to stabilize and fully develop.

The story of our partnership with Cafรฉ Rivense and Ureรฑa Family has primal roots in 2019 when Piotr, our green coffee buyer, worked for a renown roastery in Vancouver. He remembers cupping their full honey caturra for the first time very well and this coffee has him enthralled straight away. So sweet, articulated, round and complex – that day he already knew that heโd love to work with Ricardo and his relatives some day. And this day has come today!
Cafรฉ Rivense is a family-run micromill, established in 2005 by Regulo Ureรฑa and Isabel Rojas. All their sons โ Ricardo, Mario, Esteban and Luis โ are deeply involved in running the farm. Itโs located in mid-southern part of Costa Rica, in a micro region called Chirripรณ. Itโs not that far away from the capital, San Jose, but the long and winding drive through the middle of the mountain range can pose a serious bellychallenge for many gringos.
