Costa Rica - El Bebedero

About This Coffee

This coffee is from Costa Rica, specifically from the Los Santos region in Santa Maria de Dota, grown at an altitude of 1,800-2,000 meters above sea level. Produced by Jose Solis from the 2023 harvest, this coffee features the Catuai variety. The processing method is semi-washed, where hand-selected cherries are left overnight in parchment bags, then the seed is separated from the fruit without water, and the parchment ferments in buckets for 12-16 hours before the mucilage is rinsed off and the coffee is dried on raised beds for 10-12 days. The flavor profile includes strawberry syrup, chocolate, and Syrah wine notes, with a characteristic syrupy texture, red fruit and strawberry flavors, wine-like taste, and a lasting chocolate aftertaste.

Hola Coffee

Pablo Caballero and Nolo Botana had already built a track record in coffee when they launched Hola in 2016. The pair poured their accumulated experience into an operation built around quality, accessibility, and inclusivity. Coffee is roasted daily in small batches at the Sepulveda roastery in Madrid, ensuring beans are never more than a few days old at the point of sale. Their Lagasca location earned the number 12 spot on The World's 100 Best Coffee Shops 2025. Hola also runs an academy offering both its own certification and internationally recognized SCA credentials, alongside a podcast that has become a key part of the project. Seasonal coffees rotate through washed, natural, and experimental processes, producing a range from chocolatey depth to floral brightness.
