About the growers: Some of the first immigrant farmers ever to settle in Costa Rica arrived in the 1800s, and like all true coffee lovers, they brought coffee seeds and seedlings with them. The West Valley, on the far west edge of the country’s coffee growing regions, produces almost 25% of Costa Rica’s total coffee, and also garners an extremely high percentage of Cup of Excellence winners. La Candelaria farm has a native wildlife protection program and a reforestation program with Rainforest Alliance certification.
