drink like a human coffee (rise-up collab)

say hello to our inaugural exclusive collaboration with rise-up coffee!

it's the drink like a human coffee.

way back when, our whole family journey started in costa rica as it's where my parents celebrated their marriage. 20 years later, it’s only fitting that our 1st coffee came from this gorgeous place.

process: Coffee cherries are delivered and processed at AFAORCA, Fabrizzio’s cherries are floated to remove damaged and less dense coffee, depulped, then mechanically washed with an eco-friendly demucilager, and then dried on patios and raised beds

certifications: Fair Trade, Organic

background: Costa Rica is one of those easily accessible destinations many coffee lovers know firsthand. But as a coffee producing country there have been many pressure points shrinking production despite some of the most innovative adaptations seen anywhere in the coffeelands. Case and point, the shrinking number of next generation producers in Costa Rica is a serious concern. We are fortunate to have an example of one of those rare next generation producers who looks to take the path less traveled. Roberto Fabrizzio Marín Jiménez (Fabrizzio) inherited his father’s 30-acre farm called Las Gravilias. Fabrizzio was hooked on farming at the age of 13, which is not so common in Costa Rica with more and more focus on sending the kids to university. But Fabrizzio’s father, Roberto Marín Piedra, was a bit of a superstar among Costa Rican producers, so naturally it is no surprise that Roberto junior (Fabrizzio) took early to his father’s passion.
