Volcan Azul Tarrazu
It's finally back! Volcan Azul Tarrazu is a smooth and balanced washed coffee from Costa Rica that has quickly become a fan favorite. The coffee plants are grown in fertile volcanic soil in the Los Santos region, ensuring well-maintained and ripe cherries. The beans are then carefully processed at the Volcan Azul mill by Alejo Castro, using his family's extensive knowledge and expertise in coffee processing. This results in a super smooth and well-balanced coffee with delicious notes of toffee, brown sugar, and mandarin.

Farm Story: At the turn of the 19th century, two pioneers and entrepreneurs, Alejo C. Jiménez in Costa Rica and Wilhelm Kahle in the south of Mexico, shared a dream: to craft the world's finest coffee to satisfy the new, discerning European market. Today, their descendants still produce top quality coffee in Costa Rica using the same ideals of excellence. Grown in volcanic soil high above 1400 meters in 3 distinct regions, this exceptional coffee is made even better by the family's efforts to conserve natural resources. They are reducing air pollution and global warming, not through words, but through their actions.
