Established in 2003 by Ulrich Salamun this farm produces high quality coffee varieties such as Red Catuai, Caturra and Pacamara. The coffee is hand-picked, pulped, fermented, washed and pre-dried on the farm.

Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Costa Rica, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
