The story
Behind the bag.
Costa Rica is the lab of specialty coffee — where many of the most innovative processing techniques (honey, anaerobic, white honey, yellow honey) were developed. We rotate Costa Rican honey-processed lots through our seasonal lineup whenever the harvest delivers.
Tanzania, on the other end of the world, is one of the great underrated origins. Tanzanian Kent at altitude tastes like the cleanest version of East African coffee — bright, tropical, juicy, with a tea-like clarity.
We rotate these two through our menu based on harvest timing and quality, so customers who like brightness and tropical fruit always have something interesting to chase.
Sustainability practices
How this coffee is grown.
- Costa Rican honey-process uses dramatically less water than fully-washed
- Tanzanian Kent variety is regionally adapted (vs. globally-imposed hybrids)
- Seasonal rotation means we buy what's actually peak quality, not what's just available
- Smallholder relationships in both countries
Challenges & opportunities
Both countries face climate-shift pressures. Costa Rica is investing heavily in adaptation; Tanzania is more vulnerable. Specialty buyers' premiums fund the work either way.
