About This Coffee

This Gesha coffee is from Costa Rica, specifically from the Valle Central region in Santa Ana, produced by Eladio Morales at 1400 meters altitude. It is honey processed with a 2020 harvest. The coffee features delicate yet complex flavor notes of jasmine, sweet orange, pineapple, mango, and vanilla. It has good body with a silky texture and citric acidity. The farm, historically known as Finca La Mina, has been in coffee production since the 1960s, with Don Eladio Morales managing his own lot for the past 10 years, introducing new varieties like Geisha to improve quality.

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.
