Origin and Plantation
Our ‘Naranjo Altura’ is grown at altitudes of between 1,200 and 1,700 metres. The nutrient-rich soil, warm climate and excellent altitude ensure a coffee of the highest quality. The coffee cherries are carefully hand-picked to guarantee a fine selection of the very best coffee beans. Direct trade without middlemen supports local coffee farmers and ensures a more transparent supply chain. This enables the development of longer-term and more stable structures that support more sustainable management of the farmland. This helps farmers to improve their harvests, their income and their prospects.
Character and Taste
The Costa Rica Naranjo impresses with its fruity and slightly floral flavour and wonderful citrusy and chocolatey aftertaste. More than 800 different scent components are a guarantee for an incomparable taste.
Particularities
In the 80's and 90's, coffee from Costa Rica lost its world-famous character due to the desired mass production. Even though the country is small and the plantations were mainly owned by small to medium-sized families, for decades coffee was produced almost entirely in large production facilities. This is why the coffee lost its unique character. Today, it is possible for small farmers to produce their own coffees and market them at a profit. The quality has thus yet again reached the high levels of old times.
