About Santa Teresa micromill 🍒
The Urena’s Santa Teresa micro-mill is unique in many ways, but the 2000 MASL elevation is one of the most significant talking points. With many farms and micro-mills in Costa Rica, it is common to harvest cherries and bring them down to lower-elevation micro-mills. However, Ureña’s farms are more often bringing cherries to Santa Teresa for processing. With the high elevation comes much cooler temperatures and a significant diurnal shift. This process makes growing and processing coffee take longer, especially during cherry maturation, fermentation, and drying, and undoubtedly results in high-quality coffees.

The Ureñas are committed to quality, constantly experimenting with planting new varieties and trialling different processing methods. They have built many African beds for drying their special varieties and experimental fermentations. They consistently place in the top 10 of the Cup of Excellence competition in Costa Rica each year. We feel privileged to work with Roger and Alex Ureña and look forward to their annual coffee 🫶 Finca Santa Teresa is one of Roger and Alex Ureña’s ten farms!!!! They plant a wide variety of coffee and process all of their coffee at their own Santa Teresa mill. Once freshly handpicked at peak ripeness, all coffees undergo the honey processing method, which leaves a certain amount of mucilage, or the flesh of the fruit, on the coffee seeds during processing of the cherry. A white honey processed coffee relates to a coffee that last the least amount of mucilage on it ☕️
