Now a specialty coffee estate focused on regenerative agriculture, Finca Brumas del Zurquí has evolved significantly over the years. Alvarado exclusively uses eco-friendly, "green line" products on his land, adhering to strict ecological standards to benefit the environment naturally and improve the quality and yield of his specialty coffee.

 
What is Geisha coffee?
Geisha coffee beans are a highly prized variety of the Arabica species, renowned for their distinctive flavor profile, which includes delicate floral notes and a tea-like quality. These trees are naturally low-yielding and challenging to cultivate due to their sensitivity, contributing to the rarity and exclusivity of Geisha beans on the market.

Originally known as "Gesha," the variety was collected from Ethiopia's Gesha region and brought to Central America in 1953 as T2722, now famous as Panamanian Geisha. Since gaining global recognition at the "Best of Panama" auction, gesha/geisha coffee has been cultivated in various regions worldwide, solidifying its elite status.

 
Costa Rican Coffee - Costa Rica Finca Brumas del Zurquí Geisha Washed
Costa Rican coffee producers are highly innovative, embracing new trends in agriculture and fermentation techniques to continually improve coffee quality. While the Caturra variety is still prevalent, it's being replaced by more sustainable varieties like Obata due to challenges like pests and disease. The country's eight coffee-growing regions, influenced by diverse terroir, offer a rich variety of flavor profiles, with unique microlots produced through processes like honey and anaerobic fermentation.
