The Farm
Located high in the mountains of San Marcos de Tarrazú, La Pastora is a celebrated mill and cooperative known for producing some of Costa Rica’s cleanest and most consistent coffees. Farmers here grow coffee on steep terrain between 1,600–1,900 meters, where cool nights and warm days create ideal conditions for slow cherry development.
La Pastora works closely with small farmers who deliver their perfectly ripe cherries to the mill, where they undergo precise washing and controlled drying that bring out the classic Tarrazú profile: bright acidity, brown-sugar sweetness, and a smooth, balanced finish.
The region’s dedication to quality and sustainability has earned Tarrazú a reputation as one of the premier coffee regions in the world.
