Coffee Farm: Beneficio Las Peñas

Las Peñas, Chacón family, Sabanilla de Alajuela

Coffee farm Beneficio Las Peñas is located in the Central Valley of Costa Rica, specifically in Sabanilla, which is the 7th district of Alajuela county/province.  It is located 13 kilometers away from the city of Alajuela, in the foothills of the majestic Poas Volcano, at about 1270 meters above sea level.

The soil is of volcanic origin, which is a valuable element for agriculture. The altitude  (above 1200 ms)  affects the size and hardness of the coffee bean and can influence certain components, in particular, the acidity; these elements are very important to the characteristics of Arabica coffee, which offers an aromatic, smooth, and pleasantly flavored beverage. Our coffee farms are certified by Rainforest Alliance. This organization works to conserve biodiversity and ensure sustainable livelihoods by transforming land-use practices, business practices, and consumer behavior.

Coffee rated as Specialty Coffee between 82 and 84 points according to the SCA scale. Process: Fully washed.
