About this coffee

La Piñata is a farm owned by the Ureña family. Alex, the son, tells his father Roger decided to plant geisha in 2019. The geisha variety is one of 15 grown by the Ureña family (other varieties include SL-28, Typica, Pacamara, Wush wush, Casiopea, Sudan Ruma, Villalobos, Catuaí, Esperanza...).

10 pickers take care of the harvest, by hand. At the end of the day, the picked cherries are transported to the washing station. The coffee remains there overnight, at a temperature of between 12 and 13° (the mill is at an altitude of 2100m).

The coffee is then pulped and dried with the mucilage, before being transferred to the patio where it dries for 48 hours. Finally, it is moved to the drying beds to finish drying evenly.

Station Santa Teresa

The Santa Teresa station is owned by the Ureña family, Roger the father and Alex, the son. Here, at an altitude of 2,000 meters, the family's coffee varieties are processed on 15 farms: Geisha, SL-28, Typica, Pacamara, Wush wush, Casiopea, Sudan Ruma, Villalobos, Catuaí, Esperanza... The station is located in the Tarrazu region, on Costa Rica's west coast. The region and its climate are highly conducive to coffee-growing, for slow, gradual ripening of the cherries. The region's climate changes with the seasons: a season with moderate rainfall during berry growth and development, and a dry season coinciding with the harvest. After each harvest, each of the family's farms is carefully prepared to ensure consistent quality from crop to crop.
