COSTA RICA
El PEREZOSO I YELLOW HONEY
This exceptional microlot comes from a small group of farmers in the Santiago microregion of San Ramon, nestled in Costa Rica‘s renowned West Valley. Located in Alajuela Province, this coffee-growing region spans the cantons of San Ramon, Palmares, Naranjo, Atenas, and Grecia. Here, farmers—many descended from Central Valley settlers—cultivate coffee on valley floors and mountain slopes. With Pacific-influenced weather, the region enjoys stable temperatures, six months of rainfall, and a dry, sunny season perfect for coffee cultivation. Small growers, who make up 85% of the producers, nurture their crops across the area‘s valleys and slopes. Just an hour from San José, San Ramon’s serene atmosphere has earned it the nickname „City of Presidents and Poets.“
