El Salitre Costa Rica Washed

Café Rivense is a farm and micromill founded by Régulo Ureña and Isabel Rojas in 2005 in the Brunca area of Costa Rica, within in a micro-region called Chirripó. Today, Rivense remains a family enterprise run with the participation of their children Ricardo, Mario, Esteban, Luis, and Tatiana. The Rivense operation consists of several lush, garden-like growing areas with distinct names, which deliver cherry to fully integrated wet and dry-milling facilities all within the farm itself, meaning that their coffee is fully prepared for export when it leaves the farm, ensuring both quality and tracability of its products.
The farm is managed sustainably, with a focus on reducing their carbon footprint: proper shade management provides organic material for healthy soil, fertilizer and treatments are applied only when necessary, and all water sources are protected. The Chirripó micro-region itself, located alongside the highest peak in Costa Rica, is a unique micro-climate with flourishing biodiversity, ideally suited to production and processing of speciality coffee.
