COSTA RICA TARRAZU

The Central Valley, or “Valle Central” in Spanish, is a plateau in central Costa Rica. The land in the valley is surrounded by several mountains and volcanoes of the Central Range. The region is home to almost three-quarters of Costa Rica’s population and includes the capital and most populous city, San José. The land in the Central Valley is distributed between the provinces of Alajuela, Heredia, San José and Cartago. The region occupies an area of 11,366 km², more than a fifth of the country, and is drained by the Tárcoles River. Farms in Central Valley are comparatively accessible but recognized for growing and processing Arabica coffees with the bright acidity and complex fruits Costa Rican coffee is known for.

MAASAI KENYA

Kenya has a unique way of preparing its green coffee. It has in fact inherited one of the most efficient preparation methods from the British (in terms of cup quality). This process, known as ”Kenyan washing” or ”double washing”, is considered a national expertise.
The preparation method, combined with specific varieties (SL28, SL34, Batian, Ruiru 11) developed for their ability to adapt to the local terroir, has positioned Kenya among the world’s most prestigious specialty coffee locations. It has been producing coffees of a brilliant acidity for many years now.

For centuries it was considered a remedy for drunkenness, courage and inner peace.
