Volcan - Santa Clara is a valley on the western side of Volcan Baru. The valley floor is 1000 meters above sea level and most of the coffee is grown above 1400 meters. Nutrient rich volcanic soil, ample rainfall, temperatures ranging from 65-75F year around creates the ideal environment for cultivating dense, sweet cherries. The coffee is grown under the shade of native rainforest trees and plantains to maintain the natural cycle and healthy soil. Once the cherries are ripe they are hand picked and sorted. Any cherries that don’t meet our standards are discarded to guarantee the highest quality and intensity of flavor. Cherries are then washed, patio dried with supplemental mechanical drying.
