HACIENDA SONORA

Hacienda Sonora is a 100-hectare farm in the Valle Central, sitting at the foot of the Poás Volcano at 1300 masl. Alberto Guardia runs the whole operation, from growing to processing, on 100% renewable energy generated by a hydroelectric system on the farm. The 45 hectares of coffee land are shaded by native trees, which helps maintain healthy soil and promotes slow, even cherry development. After selective handpicking, the ripe cherries are laid out on raised beds or patios to dry naturally. In this bright and fruity cup, we taste raspberry, grapefruit and dark chocolate.
