Costa Rica - Lobos

About This Coffee

This coffee is from Costa Rica, specifically from the Los Santos region in San Marcos, grown at an altitude between 1,500 and 1,800 meters above sea level. Produced by Rio Jorco, it features Catuai and Catigua varieties. The coffee is processed using a semi-washed method, where cherries undergo light fermentation, are depulped, fermented dry, then fermented overnight in water before being sun-dried and finished in mechanical dryers. The 2023 harvest offers flavor notes of toasted almond, chocolate bonbon, and red wine, with a creamy and lasting texture in the mouth.

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.
