Hacienda Sonora is located in the Central Valley of Costa Rica at the foot of the Poas volcano. The farm and mill cover approximately 100 hectares. All of the coffee on the farm is processed using honey and natural methods. An important advantage of this is the reduction of waste water production in comparison to the traditional wet processing.

“CATUAI” DERIVES FROM GUARANI DIALECT, MEANING “VERY GOOD." DIEGO AND ALBERTO CONSIDER IT TO BE AN EXTREMELY RELIABLE VARIETY WITH GOOD YIELDS AND CUP QUALITY.

We have been visiting Diego, Alberto and Anna at the farm for over a decade now, and have developed a fantastic relationship with the family.
