Prolog – Costa Rica – Juanachute

We began sourcing from Juanachute in 2026, marking the start of what we hope will be a long-term partnership with the Castro family. Based in Costa Rica's renowned Los Santos region, the family were pioneers of the country's micromill movement and continue to oversee every stage of production. Their farms use water-efficient washed processing, careful sun drying on raised beds, and biodiverse farming systems that help protect local ecosystems and natural resources. Alongside producing exceptional coffee, the Castro family invests in the future of Costa Rican coffee through local education and barista training. This washed Catuaí lot reflects both the region's classic clean, balanced cup profile and the family's commitment to quality and sustainable farming.
