Terroir

The Boca Costa Difference

At 1,067 meters above sea level on the slopes of Tecuamburro volcano, our boca costa position — where the humid Pacific lowlands meet the cooler highlands — produces a distinct profile: heavier body, chocolate and caramel sweetness, smoother acidity. For roasters looking for a versatile single origin or an espresso-blend component, this is exactly the character they want.

Our family has had 135 years to understand what works on this mountain. The 40-year-old Bourbon trees are rooted deep in volcanic clay, fed by three natural springs, and shaded by a mature Cedro and Gravilea canopy that creates the ideal microclimate for slow cherry development.
