Corazón de Jesús is a family run micromill and collection of farms in Costa Rica’s Brunca region, led by producer Jhon “Jhonny” Alvarado Abarca and the Alvarado Fonseca family. The project began in 2015, when the family built their own mill in Pérez Zeledón with a minimal budget but a clear ambition: to produce high quality, fully traceable coffees from their own land rather than delivering cherries to larger mills.

Since then, they have expanded to manage several farms including El Salitre, Los Toños, Vista Paraíso, La Cusuka and La Torre, totalling roughly 16 hectares of coffee planted with both traditional and high value varieties. Among them, Finca La Torre stands out as a small, high elevation experimental site of around two hectares, situated between 1,900 and 1,950 metres at the divide between División de Páramo and La Piedra de Rivas. It was also one of the first farms in the Brunca region to plant Gesha.

The family continues to pursue an ambitious quality driven strategy focused on variety selection and advanced processing. Their dedication has earned repeated recognition in the Costa Rica Cup of Excellence, including multiple top ten finishes and a sweep of first place awards in the washed and honey or natural categories in 2025.
