About this coffee

Cafetalera Herbazu is the story of seven brothers and sisters who produce coffee in the western valley of Costa Rica, in the Lourdes de Naranjo region.

In 2010, Antonio Barrantes planted the Kenyan variety SL28, registered as "San Roque", on his Cafetalera Herbazu estate.

The first production of these plants was harvested in 2015 and won first prize in the Cup of Excellence.

The production of Cafetalera Herbazu represents around 2000 fanegas, a wooden box used as a unit of measurement in agricultural circles, equivalent to around 55 liters.

The terroir Naranjo

The coffee comes from six mountain ranges in the zone of Naranjo: Barranca, Cañuela, San Juanillo, Los Robles, Lourdes and Sabanilla. The farms gathering to produce this terroir coffee are all located between 1300 and 1700 masl. They are chosen based on the quality of their coffee. Superior quality is assured through the selection of strictly ripe cherry exclusively from the middle of the harvest. The coffee is milled at Coopro Naranjo’s main dry mill.

A few words about Antonio Barrantes

We met Antonio Barrantes of Cafetalera Herbazu in Lourdes de Naranjo, Costa Rica. He showed us around his micro-mill, which he set up in the early 2000s, when the speciality coffee trend was just beginning and microlots did not yet exist. At the time, it was a huge financial risk for Antonio and his family to go into business for themselves. But they were right!  

After a difficult harvest in 2022 and despite a drop in volume in 2023, Tonio's coffees are back in our range!
