Notes: Honey • Citrus • Stone Fruit

Light-Medium Roast | Honey Process | 1,600–1,900m

Sourced from the renowned Tarrazú region of Costa Rica, this Jaguar Honey lot is grown at elevations between 1,600 and 1,900 meters, where cool mountain air and mineral-rich soils encourage slow cherry development and layered sweetness. The coffee is produced with care in a region known for precision, quality, and innovation.

Using the honey process, a portion of the fruit’s mucilage is left on the bean during drying, creating a cup that blends natural sweetness with bright clarity. Roasted to a light–medium profile, this coffee opens with smooth honeyed sweetness, followed by lively citrus and soft stone fruit notes, finishing clean and refreshing.

Each bag connects great coffee with the Jaguar initiative, supporting efforts to protect native wildlife and preserve the ecosystems that make Tarrazú so special.

The Farm

This coffee is grown by small, family-run farms in the Tarrazú region of Costa Rica, where coffee cultivation is often a generational craft passed down through families. Farms sit between 1,600 and 1,900 meters above sea level, allowing cherries to mature slowly and develop layered sweetness. Many of these producers farm small plots of land at high elevations, tending their trees by hand and relying on deep local knowledge to guide planting, harvesting, and processing decisions. During harvest, cherries are selectively hand-picked at peak ripeness to ensure quality and consistency.

After picking, the coffee is processed using Costa Rica’s signature honey process, where the outer fruit is removed but a portion of the sticky mucilage is intentionally left on the bean during drying. Producers carefully manage this stage—monitoring temperature, airflow, and drying time—to allow natural sugars to interact with the seed. This extra attention results in a coffee with enhanced sweetness, smooth body, and vibrant clarity, reflecting both the care of the people who grew it and the land it comes from.

Jaguar Initiative

This coffee supports the Jaguar initiative, a conservation effort focused on protecting jaguar habitats and preserving biodiversity in Costa Rica’s coffee-growing regions. The initiative encourages environmentally responsible farming practices and helps raise awareness about the importance of maintaining healthy ecosystems alongside agricultural production.

By choosing this coffee, you’re supporting both thoughtful coffee cultivation and ongoing efforts to protect native wildlife and the landscapes that make Tarrazú such a special place to grow coffee.

Costa Rica

Coffee has shaped Costa Rican culture since the early 19th century, earning the nickname “the golden bean” for its role in building the country’s early economy. Unlike many producing nations, Costa Rica invested heavily in coffee education, infrastructure, and agricultural science — leading to the development of innovative processing methods and some of the highest standards in Central America.

Today, coffee is part of everyday life, woven into family traditions, rural communities, and national pride. Tarrazú stands at the heart of this culture, representing Costa Rica’s commitment to quality, environmental stewardship, and farmer empowerment.
