ABOUT THE COFFEE

Corazón de Jesús is situated in the shadow of the Chirripó mountain. The highest peak in Costa Rica was named as the ‘land of eternal waters’ in the indigenous language, reflecting the bountiful lakes which contribute to a unique terroir. Coffee from the Brunca region has seen amazing improvements in recent years. The Alvarado family have prioritised the production of speciality coffee beans, experimenting with the best possible combinations of cultivar and process. This lot was grown at their El Salitre Plot. Located at 1800 meters, it benefits from rich soil and weather conditions.
The farm is part of the Bandera Azul program, an organisation that encourages sustainable production through better farming practices, environmental conservation, and responsible water management.

ABOUT The Barn

THE BARN is a leading coffee roaster in Europe and represents the Specialty Coffee Movement at the highest level since 2010. Their beans are served by many coffee shops and home brewers across the globe.

Barn's vision has been very clear from the start: they focus on making coffees better and better. No compromise - just great coffee. Never blending coffees in order to showcase specific flavour profiles and to present each farm The Barn works with. This makes farmers proud and the product fully traceable.
