About Costa Rica - La Karola Natural | Costa Rica
We are super excited to be sourcing our Costa Rican Tarrazu coffees directly. We source our Costa Rican coffees directly in partnership with Selva Coffee, a small exporter representing a select group of coffee producers that we visited in February 2020. These producers are located in the West Valley, Central Valley and Tarrazu region of Costa Rica. You can read more about our direct trade coffees in our Transparency Report. The La Karola is a clean, sweet, and juicy coffee with notes of caramel-like sweetness and dried fruits that include fig, raisin and red grape.

La Karola
The Mora family has owned the farm since 1960 and covers an area of 4 hectares in total split into different farm sections. We've been buying coffee from them since 2019 and love their dedication to producing fantastic natural processed coffees.
Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Costa Rican farmers are known for their tendency to experiment with various post harvest processing method and for planting rare and interesting coffees, such as SL-28 and Geisha. We've been buying our Costa Rican coffees direct from the same producers for several years with the help of Selva coffee.
Smooth and complex. Highly drinkable
We ordered this coffee for Christmas and then again in January. Love the story behind the coffee and the fact that no pesticides are used.
Great one, tried v60 and espresso. Well balanced, tons of sweetness, very festive taste.
One of the two Xmas coffees put out and easily the best. I purchased a further kilogram once I’d had it and will get another before it’s no longer available. I hope they keep it on permanently.
Smells lovely and tastes even better. Fill your Christmas mug with this and you won't regret it!
