In the highlands of Costa Rica’s Brunca region at 1950m, Jhon Alvarado Abarca and his sons cultivate coffee with dedication and vibrant spirit. Several of Jhon’s siblings also farm nearby, and together the family manages 16 hectares across four farms, producing up to 800 bags in a strong harvest year.
​
This Geisha lot undergoes an “reposado” stage—resting overnight in grain pro bags after harvest and washing—followed by a 48-hour anaerobic fermentation to develop its unique profile.
​
The Alvarado Fonseca family built their Corazón de Jesús (Heart of Jesus) micromill under immense time and financial pressure, just ahead of harvest. Its name reflects the heart and effort poured into its creation. Brunca is one of Costa Rica’s eight regions, each with distinct coffee character.
