Alex Ureña • Red-Honey-Processed Ethiopian Heirloom

Recommended Roast Level City (Light) Tasting Notes "Santa Teresa 2000 has a renowned reputation for a reason, the coffees coming from Alex and Roger remain among the most complex coffees we get out of Costa Rica. The subtle depth of flavor paired with the tasteful juiciness makes this specific coffee shine. I’ve gone with a particularly light roast profile to feature the tea-like characteristics of this coffee, and it makes for an excellent pour over. Highly recommend!" - Jonathan, Head Roaster Santa Teresa Coffee Production Alex Ureña runs Santa Teresa 2000, one of the highest micro-mills in Costa Rica at over 2,000 meters. We visited his farm, walked his mill, and came away knowing this was someone whose passion for coffee was completely his own. In the spring of 2025, Grant, Jonathan, and I spent close to a week in Costa Rica with Perry and the team from Selva Coffee visiting farms in the Tarrazú region. One of those days we spent with Alex Ureña, touring his family's operation at Santa Teresa 2000 in the Los Santos area of Tarrazú. We also got to meet his father Roger briefly during the trip. This wasn't just a son doing his dad's job, this was a son who had grown to love an industry that his dad was also a part of.
