About Costa Rica Solis & Cordero
This high elevation Yellow Catuai (meaning “Very Good” in Guarani) release undergoes the 'Black Honey' process, known as the most complex, laborious and expensive process of honey processed coffees, characterised by exposure to high humidity levels and slow development time, drying under shade.
Grown at 1.750 MASL at the Beneficio Sante Fe, Costa Rica, the owners Ivan Solis and Leandra Cordero, have a rich history in coffee production. From Ivan’s family farm to the independent ownership of Beneficio Santa Fe in 2018, the passionate couple have dedicated their lives to setting themselves apart in the industry through perfecting their innovative fermentation practices - a critical aspect of coffee production.
Ivan and Leandra’s ambitions go beyond producing award-winning coffee - they aim to elevate their coffee’s reputation from regional to global prominence. Most recently, their first place win at the Cup of Excellence in the Experimental Category and 16th in the Traditional Honey & Natural Processes category was a recognised achievement that propels them towards their goals, and recognises them as a beacon of excellence in the world of coffee.
The couple, alongside their children Solsire and Ivan Jr., form a dedicated family team where Ivan and Leandra owe the success of the farm uniquely to each members’ contribution. This innovation and practice results in a medium-bodied, soft mouthfeel coffee that boasts notes of caramel, tropical fruit and light citrus, perfect for a filter preparation.

How this works
Simply select how often you want to receive coffee and we’ll ship it to you based on your choice. It's really that easy. You can change or cancel your subscription anytime.
Shipping & Delivery
If you order before noon we will dispatch your package the same business day. Located in the Netherlands? You should receive your order within 24-48 hours. Rural and international deliveries typically take a little longer and should be with you in 2-5 days.
December: As the holiday season approaches and we all begin to send treats to our loved ones, the couriers get a little run off their feet. The inevitable delays have begun, so to ensure your presents make it under the tree, be sure to order before Friday 20th December.
Shipping Rates
Shipping costs are calculated automatically at checkout. We offer complimentary shipping for orders of €30 and above within the Netherlands. We normally ship via PostNL and often UPS, depending on your location.

Morning Tracks
Before we turn on the coffee roaster in the morning, there's one thing we just can't go without.. music. We curated several playlists for you to enjoy while sipping. Some are perfect to relax and wind down, others can get a bit loud and noisy from time to time. Some have even been put together by the farmers we collaborate with. Keep on rocking in the free world!
