More About this Coffee:

Costa Rica’s tallest mountain, Cerro Chirripo (3,820 masl), boarders the Pérez Zeledón area to the northwest and Panama at its southeast border. Irregular topography, abundant rivers and a diverse ecosystem, provide ideal conditions for producing unique coffees. Coffee is central to Pérez Zeledón's history. It was brought to the region and cultivated by migrants from Costa Rica’s Central Valley towards the end of the 19th century. The settlers found the climate conditions and richness of the soil ideal for coffee cultivation. Coffee helps to elevate the social and economic development of Pérez Zeledón and generated a culture of values and principles built on family unity.
