There’s something truly special about Costa Rica’s coffee scene, and Santa Maria de Dota captures it beautifully. This coffee comes to us from CoopeDota, a legendary cooperative that’s been setting the bar high since 1960. With nearly 900 passionate producers and a seriously impressive carbon-neutral mill, they’re turning cherry deliveries into pure gold (or in this case, caramel, dried fruit, and honey). It's all about dedication to craft and community, and the result is a coffee that feels like sunshine in your cup.
What really sets CoopeDota apart is their full-circle approach to sustainability. They're not just thinking about great coffee — they’re thinking about their entire ecosystem. From eco-friendly pulping to using coffee parchment to fuel their dryers, and even managing trash collection for the whole town of Santa Maria de Dota, this is coffee that does good at every step. Plus, they’ve got their own cafes and training centre, so the love for coffee starts right at home.
With a honey process that brings out incredible sweetness and a smooth finish, Santa Maria de Dota is a total treat. Expect comforting notes of caramel, pops of dried fruit, and a silky drizzle of honey throughout. It’s an easygoing, everyday filter brew that makes every sip feel just a little bit brighter.
