Coffee plantation Costa Rica

Calé de Guayabo, 2012

Our journey began with a barren land scarred by intensive agriculture. Determined to restore its vitality, we envisioned an ecological haven. Our mission unfolded in layers—preserving the rainforest, safeguarding the river, and cultivating a deep-rooted ethos of conservation. With meticulous care for the landscape and ecology, we embarked on the cultivation of a perennial crop—coffee. Selecting coffee varieties attuned to the climate and geography, we sought harmony between agriculture and nature, transforming adversity into a thriving sanctuary for both land and community.

Calé de Guayabo, today

Ten carefully selected coffee varieties now flourish, each intricately processed as honey or natural. The heartbeat of our commitment resonates in the rustling leaves of over 400 newly planted trees, weaving a green tapestry that harmonizes agriculture with conservation.
