Description: We are so excited to have Las Torres back in the shop, it was an all time classic and this year's harvest is extra tasty.

Farm and Processing: Café Rivense is a distinguished farm and micromill founded by Régulo Ureña and Isabel Rojas in 2005, located in the Brunca area of Costa Rica within the unique micro-region called Chirripó. This family enterprise is managed by their children Ricardo, Mario, Esteban, Luis, and Tatiana. The Rivense operation includes several lush, garden-like growing areas with distinct names, all contributing to the exceptional quality of their coffee. The farm features fully integrated wet and dry-milling facilities, ensuring that the coffee is fully prepared for export upon leaving the farm, thus guaranteeing both quality and traceability.
Recognition and Sustainability: Rivense's coffees have garnered numerous accolades for their outstanding quality, with one lot notably placing 5th in Costa Rica's Cup of Excellence competition in 2019. The farm is committed to sustainable management practices aimed at reducing their carbon footprint. Proper shade management provides organic material for healthy soil, fertilizers and treatments are applied judiciously, and all water sources are protected. The Chirripó micro-region, situated alongside the highest peak in Costa Rica, boasts a unique micro-climate with rich biodiversity, ideal for the production and processing of specialty coffee. The Ureña family's focus on honey and natural-processed coffees to minimize water usage aligns with their dual mission of sustainability and exceptional cup quality.
