This particular lot from Finca Voo in Costa Rica has won first place in Cup of Excellence in the experimental category. This natural catuai tastes very unique for its varietal and process, it tastes like a washed bright African coffee! Full of currants, honeydew and florals.

Recollection of cherries + fermentation in dark plastic bags for 36 hours. Afterwards, the coffee is dried on African beds for 19 days. During the most warming hours, they cover it with plastic nets like in Ethiopia. Nestled in the lush landscape of Copey, Tarrazu, Finca Voo stands as a testament to the vision and hard work of Ivan Solis and his family. This esteemed 40-hectare coffee farm, whose name signifies 'fly' in Portuguese, embodies the realization of their dreams. Finca Voo has consistently produced exceptional coffee, winning #1 in the Costa Rica Cup of Excellence 2024. The family behind Beneficio Santa Fe has a rich histroy in coffee. Ivan Solis, the owner, has been part of the coffee industry for his entire life, beginning with his parents' farm. In 2018, he ventured into coffee production independently, purchasing Santa Mara and establishing his Beneficio, Santa Fe together with his wife, Leandra Cordero. The couple, alongside their children Solsire and Ivan Jr., form a dedicated team where each member contributes uniquely to the farm's success. Leandra handles administrative tasks, Solsire manages commercial operations and Ivan Jr aspires to become an engineer to oversee production.
