Costa Rica Helsar de Zarcero

Farm: Helsar de Zarcerro Varietal: Caturra Process: White Honey / Washed Roast level: Dark Roast Cupping Notes: Hazelnut and ripe black cherry. Rustic sweetness. We dark roasted this Caturra varietal coffee to bring out the deep, comforting nutty and deep fruit notes - creating a rich, full-bodied cup that’s both bold and approachable. Using a single origin like Helsar de Zarcero preserves a sense of place, offering clarity and structure beneath the roast—so you get depth without losing character. We build long-term relationships with Farmers and select the best coffees available from their harvests year after year. We visit Helsar de Zarcerro each Spring to walk the farm, visit the farmers and cup the best coffees to bring home. Meet Ricardo Perez, Helsar de Zarcerro Farm Owner in our video series below.
