This single-origin coffee is sourced from Finca Las Lajas, located on the fertile slopes of the Poás Volcano in the Sabanilla region of Alajuela, Costa Rica. The farm is managed by owners Francisca and Oscar Chacón, who utilize sustainable farming practices, including shade-grown techniques, to protect soil health and ensure long-term cultivation. The farm's meticulous selection and drying methods result in a complex, high-quality coffee.
Paul Lovegreen founded Tunnel City Coffee in 1992 in Williamstown, Massachusetts, originally under the name Cold Spring Coffee Roasters. The roastery was renamed in 2004 after the nearby Hoosac Tunnel, a local landmark. In May 2024, after 32 years, Lovegreen passed ownership to Jamal Stockton, Janine McCarl, and Nilaykumar Patel. Production runs on a Diedrich IR12 at the Norad Mill facility in North Adams, where beans are roasted fresh daily in small batches. Sourcing focuses on coffees from Colombia and Nicaragua, with the new ownership pursuing additional direct farm relationships and expanded sustainability efforts.
