Story
Tributos del Ota
Tributos del Ota is a 36-hectare farm run by the Romero Chacón family, who inherited the land just over three years ago from the late Joaquín Quiroz and María de los Angeles Chacón Zúñiga. Located at the foot of the Talamanca Mountain range, the farm sits at 1,875–2,050 meters and grows a wide array of varieties including Geisha, Millennium, SL28, Red Bourbon, and Villa Sarchi. The family honors the valley’s indigenous roots—named after Ota, chieftain of the Quepoas people—by focusing on heritage, quality, and sustainability. With its stable climate and high altitude, the farm yields sweet, vibrant coffees and also cultivates avocados, reflecting a deep respect for the land and its history.
Las Margaritas 26
Founded by Emmanuel Solis in 2005, Las Margaritas 26 is a testament to bold vision and resilience. At 2,000 meters, the land was once dismissed as too cold for coffee, but Emmanuel saw its potential. Today, he produces exceptional Geisha, Villalobos, Bourbon, and SL28 while championing sustainable agriculture. His farm avoids pesticides, encourages biodiversity, and grows strawberries, golden berries, and native flowers. With a dedicated on-site mill, Emmanuel personally oversees processing to preserve quality at every step. His commitment has made Las Margaritas 26 a standout example of innovation and care in the Tarrazú region.
La Torre
Run by the Alvarado Fonseca family, La Torre reflects a new generation of coffee excellence in southern Costa Rica. Founded in 2015, their micro mill focuses on meticulously processed small-lot coffees grown in the Brunca region, particularly the Coto Brus area. Their dedication quickly gained international recognition, placing 3rd in the 2023 Cup of Excellence and 2nd in 2024. With elevations ranging from 800 to 1,700 meters and a humid, diverse climate, the farm produces vibrant coffees with complex citrus profiles. The family’s passion for sustainability and precision has positioned La Torre at the forefront of Costa Rica’s specialty coffee movement.

Origin
Tarrazú, Santa Maria de Dota and Chirripo, Brunca, Costa Rica
The Tolima region of Colombia is one of the more centrally located, coffee-producing regions of the country. Although many farms are located at high altitudes, with many 2000 metres above sea level, this region has historically been devastated by fighting between paramilitaries and guerilla forces. Today, it’s a region that is prosperous in coffee production among other agricultural products.
Tolima is Colombia’s third largest coffee-growing region, however accounts for roughly only 12% of Colombia’s coffee production. The majority of varieties grown in Tolima are Castillo and Colombia – however, there are many unique varieties cultivated, including this Yellow Bourbon, which demonstrate both the innovation of the producers who work the land and the quality of the coffee they produce on it.
