About this coffee

Rivense H3 Honey is a honey-processed Arabica coffee from the Ureña-Rojas family’s Café Rivense del Chirripó micromill. The cherries are depulped but left with most of their mucilage (“honey”) intact, then dried on raised beds. This full-honey lot often develops deep fruit character, with tasting notes that have been described as concord grape, gummy candy, and raspberry lambic.

The region

The coffee comes from the Chirripó micro-region in Costa Rica’s Brunca area, where the Ureña family’s operations include several farms and a processing mill. The land lies at high altitude (above 1,500 m), with volcanic soils and abundant shade, giving the cherries a long drying period in a stable climate. The Ureña-Rojas family practices sustainable farming, protecting water sources and managing shade trees to maintain soil health.

History of coffee in COSTA RICA

Coffee was introduced to Costa Rica in the late 1700s, and by the early 19th century it had become a major export. The government offered land to coffee farmers, which helped to rapidly expand production. Over time, coffee revenue partly financed infrastructure and economic growth in Costa Rica.
