Coopelibertad RL

In 1961, when cooperativism was at its peak in Costa Rica, Coopelibertad RL was born. The cooperative was created to provide a solution to coffee growers in Heredia and help them achieve better results in their agricultural work.

Since its foundation, the cooperative has worked hand in hand with its members, seeking the common good. In this way, it has contributed to the improvement of the economic and social situation of its members, through the cultivation of the precious coffee.

In the green Central Valley, where the wind brings the sweet aroma of coffee plants, the cooperative members take care of their farms with care. There, Caturra and Catuai grow under the sun, each plant cared for by expert hands that apply sustainable techniques to improve their productivity and quality. When September arrives, the coffee cherry harvest begins, which is collected carefully and taken to the mill. There, each bean goes through a rigorous process monitored by strict quality controls, to ensure that the fruit of the farmers' work is of the highest possible quality.

Finca Higuerones

San Agustín is a magical place, an oasis in the middle of the city of León where some of the best specialty coffees in Europe are roasted. A few years ago, we realized that we were not satisfied with the quality of coffee that we found, and we knew there was a world to discover in the coffee industry. So, we started selecting and roasting our own coffee. It was a difficult and long path, but it was worth it in the end. We invested in training and high-quality equipment, started offering our coffee to those who wanted to try something different, and attended industry fairs, events, and competitions. However, it was not easy. Many people have a misconception about what good coffee should taste like. It was challenging to make customers, as there was no culture of specialty coffee in Spain. But we didn't give up, and over time we convinced more and more people of what specialty coffee is.

Today, San Agustín is a beloved place for coffee lovers. We continue to work hard every day, looking for new exclusive beans and small lots from producers to offer to our customers. Although there is still much to do, we are very proud of what we have achieved so far.
