Avenue Coffee - Finca San Isidro (Costa Rica)

The town of San Luis de Sabanilla falls within the province of Alajuela and is part of the coffee producing region of Costa Rica known as the Central Valley. It is within this region that Costa Rica’s capital, San Jose, can be found and it is also the oldest producing area in the country. The three volcanoes of Poas, Irzu & Barva make this region particularly notable and have contributed towards a rich fertile soil highly suited to agricultural production. This combined with a defined wet and dry season, good rainfall and stable temperatures mean it is highly suited to coffee cultivation in particular.

This is the third farm purchased by Don Jorge Zamora (the Zamora family also own Finca Santos in the same region, the produce of which you can also find in our store). Finca San Isidro is one of the most important of all the farms to the Zamora family – it is the site of their wet and dry mills, but also where the family lives. The farm has been with the family for over 30 years and produces around 13 tonnes of coffee.
