Coffee Origins
This farm in Costa Rica has a special place in our hearts, and this coffee has earned its rightful place in the Volcan Azul Nanolot hall of fame.
So here goes, an anaerobically processed SL28 varietal.
But what makes this coffee special?
The SL28 varietal is a thoroughly Kenyan varietal. This coffee has been grown in Kenya for the past 90 years, and yet, here it is tasting incredible out of a West Valley Costa Rican farm.
That’s a pretty cool story if you ask us.
This coffee placed highly in the Costa Rican cup of excellence, making it a must-have on our current offer list.
At the beginning of the 19th century, when coffee production was in its early beginnings in America, without knowing it, two pioneers and entrepreneurs, Alejo C. Jiménez in Costa Rica and Wilhelm Kahle in the south of Mexico, shared the same dream: “To produce the best coffee in the world” to satisfy the new demands of the European gourmet market.
Today, descendants of these visionary farmers still produce coffee within the same ideals of excellence and top quality that inspired their ancestors who continue with the tradition in Costa Rica. Volcan Azul, on the slopes of the Poas Volcano in the West Valley, carries this legacy.
Today, the production process starts with the planting of the coffee trees on highly fertile volcanic soil above 1400 meters above sea level (SHB) in 3 different regions from Costa Rica.
Nowadays, the descendants of Don Alejo C. and Don Wilhelm want to further enhance the principles of quality inherited by their founders by adding the value of conservancy of natural resources, through the acquisition of extensions of natural rainforest for its protection and conservation. These facts, not just words, are small actions taken by one family to reduce air contamination and global warming. Volcan Azul, by the guiding hand of Alejo Castro, continues to produce some of the highest quality coffees in the world and this one is no exception.

FAQs
Single origins: Our roast style and green coffee preference suits both filter and espresso very well.
Each coffee with present different characteristics you may prefer through a specific brew method.
For example Dario loves washed Kenyan’s through the AeroPress, but they taste great as espresso and through the V60.
Blends: Designed with espresso in mind but Dreamer tastes great in the plunger. It’s all down to personal preference!
