About This Coffee

This coffee is a Geisha variety from Costa Rica, specifically from the Los Santos region in San Marcos at 1,600 meters altitude. Produced by Daniela Gutierrez from the 2023 harvest, it is washed processed. The coffee is grown on La Cumbre, a mountaintop in the northwest of Santa María de Dota, known for producing some of the best coffees in the zone. The Geisha variety is grown at high altitude in fertile soil with responsible agricultural management. After hand-picking at peak ripeness, the coffee undergoes classic washed processing and is dried on African beds for approximately 10 days. Flavor notes include nectarine, black tea, and molasses, with peach-like and hoppy dimensions.

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.
