From The Barn
To start 2025 in the best possible way, it is time to welcome back a coffee we look forward to every year: Volcan Azul Caturra.
On the edge of the Poás Volcano, coffee has been planted on fertile soil since the mid-19th century. Working closely with Alejo lets us highlight the special combination of terroir and expertise that has made Volcan Azul one of the finest producers in the world.
We return to our naturally processed Caturra lot every year: the texture, depth, and balance simply lot blows us away. Expect notes of dried fig, blueberry, and apricot. Fragrant vanilla and lavender will appear as it cools, with defined complexity that is a signature of Volcan Azul.
The West Valley is Costa Ricas historical production region. Most of its coffees are grown under protective shade, and produced on fertile clay. The valleys landscape is structured by three volcanoes and a gentle tectonic depression. This privileged land on the Pacific Coast has well-defined dry and wet seasons.
Volcan Azul is located on the edges of the Poás Volcano. For 5 generations, the producers have continued making coffee with the objective in mind of achieving excellence and superior quality. The descendants of the founders families are acquiring natural tropical forest in order to protect and preserve the environment, and to reduce air contamination and global warming. It is their way of contributing to a better future for the generations to come.
