Descending from the highest peak in Costa Rica, the pine trees lining the steep slopes are slowly replaced by verdant coffee plants. Working across the valley, John Alvarado and his family have been instrumental in changing the reputation of coffee from Brunca.

With a focus on modern processing, Corazón de Jesús is a great example of the 'micro mill' model. This is a deliciously rich coffee, with notes of chocolate mousse and caramelised fig.

Hazel ★★★★★

I usually go for darker roasts, but this one from the high-altitude slopes has a brightness I wasn't expecting. You can really taste the difference that family farming makes in the cup, feels honest and smooth.

Hannah W. ★★★★★

The care the Alvarado family puts into each harvest is obvious from the first sip—there's a clean, almost piney brightness that makes me think of those mountain slopes. It brews up smooth with no bitterness, even when I let it steep a bit too long.

Stella Y. ★★★★★

The altitude here really comes through in the cup—that slow descent from the mountain makes for a cleaner, sweeter brew than I'm used to. I've been making pour-overs every morning and the family's care in processing is obvious in every sip.
