Corporate Philosophy

Our coffee is grown in volcanic and low-acidic fertile soil, conditions ideal for production. More than 80% of the coffee area is located between 800 and 1,600 meters (2,625 feet-5,250 feet) above sea level. 100% of our coffee comes from the Arabica specie, the Caturra and Catuaí varieties, which produce a high quality bean and a cup with better organoleptic characteristics: pleasant, aromatic, and select. The planting of Robusta coffees has been prohibited by law since 1989 because of its inferior cup quality.

The advanced technology that the Costa Rican coffee producer has used for more than 200 years has allowed the plantations to adapt to the characteristics of each zone. Today Costa Rican coffee is grown in 8 production zones: Brunca, Turrialba, Tres Ríos, Orosi, Tarrazú, the Central and Western Valleys and Guanacaste. Lindo Coffee Group coffee is sourced mainly from the Western Valley zone.

A manual and selective method of picking is used: only ripe berries (at optimal ripeness) are selected. Costa Rica coffee growers and the owners of the processing plants signed a Quality Improvement Agreement through which they have committed to harvest and process only ripe fruit, which guarantees better cup quality. Additionally, the Costa Rican coffee sector only uses wet processing, in which the removal of the pulp is done the same day that it is harvested.

Both the sun-dry and mechanical methods are used in Costa Rica. The first being one of the preferred methods in the increasingly demanding world market. These processes allow to obtain a precise optimal drying point (12% humidity).

The goal of Costa Rica’s coffee growing sector is to continue improving bean and roasted coffee sales while adher-ing to its strategy of “quality, not quantity”; to always provide increasing value to our coffee and to increasingly provide the local market with quality coffee.

Why Is Costa Rican Coffee Better?

Coffee has always been a very controversial beverage. Not too long ago it was believed that coffee could eventually be harmful for your health, but more recent and serious investigations have proven that coffee can indeed benefit your health in various ways. Waking up to a deliciously warm aromatic cup of coffee can be largely beneficial to ones health. Caffeine, sometimes indicated of coffee´s harmful agent, is indeed extremely beneficial to our body and mind. Some scientifically proven facts about this delicious beverage are: • Can help to improve concentration and mind assertiveness and to activate a state of alertness. • Coffee is rich in antioxidants (comparable to red wine or tea) helping our body to preserve its cellular structure and avoid premature aging of the cells.

• One cup of coffee has only 2 calories but can provide up to 85 mg of caffeine helping the brain to be more focused and the body to avoid fatigue. • Recent studies have demonstrated that drinking an average of three cups of coffee per day may help to reduce the risk of suffering diabetes, colom cancer or cirrhosis. • Caffeine is a protective substance that can help reduce the risk of suffering Parkinson disease.

The exquisite sweetness and content of natural citric acids characteristic of Costa Rica mountain grown Arabica coffee have been masterfully captured in our private blend which is roasted to that precise light dark roast that defines the finest coffees. We are so proud of the exceptional quality, taste, aroma and body of this blend that we have called it Casa Lindo after our family name.

The blend used in Casa Lindo pure Costa Rican coffee consists of high altitude beans (above 1000 meters above sea level) from the Naranjo area, a suburb west of San José. This combination results in a coffee with a pleasant sweetness, citric acids and abundant body, and leaves a residual taste with jasmine and hydrangea floral notes, along with chocolate and creamy flavors.

You can enjoy our Casa Lindo 100% pure coffee in medium, light-dark, dark and espresso roasts.

Being that Costa Rica has been a coffee producing country over the past few hundred years it is only natural that we have developed our own way of preparing our coffee. In our Café Dominica Traditional Style coffee we have successfully captured this country tradition and developed a blend that fully expresses the way our grandparents used to start their day. The blend of beans used in Café Dominica traditional style coffee consists mainly of high altitude beans (above 1000 meters above sea level) from the Naranjo area. This coffee offers a strong dark roast that enhances its taste and aroma and yet allows us to offer a price oriented product.
