Finca Las Mercedes sits in the Tarrazú region, where volcanic soil gives the coffee a mineral foundation that complements the natural process. Sun-drying the cherries concentrates fruit sugars and builds body, pulling out pineapple and blackberry alongside softer peach and sweet tea notes. The light roast keeps the acidity bright and the fruit character intact, making it work equally well as espresso or filter.

Volcanica Coffee began in 2004 when Costa Rican-born Maurice Contreras started importing richly flavored beans from volcanic regions right out of his garage. What began as a side passion soon grew into a family-run specialty roaster, roasting on demand in Atlanta and sending each batch out within a day. Their approach is simple, unyielding: showcase terroir-driven, exotic single-origin beans from volcanic soils, roast them with care, and ship only when they’re at their freshest.
