About the people who grow it
"El Poeta" is sourced from family-owned farms located near San Rafael de San Ramon within the province of Alajuela, Costa Rica. Producers collaborate with an export and milling company called Cafe de Altura de San Ramon Especial to gain access to technical support for best agricultural practices. This partnership has helped to improve quality, increase earnings from coffee sales, and strengthen family livelihoods.
The West Valley coffee region of Costa Rica is ideal due to microclimates and the possibility of harvesting the ripe coffee cherry during the summer. The morning sun, the afternoon rain, volcanic soils and high frost-less elevations makes for coffee growing heaven! This West Valley region is westernmost of Costa Rica’s coffee growing areas, and produces almost 25% of Costa Rica’s total coffee output. Many Cup of Excellence winners have been from this region.
