Tarrazu Coffee Guide

Tarrazu Coffee Association

Social and environmental responsibility of our gourmet coffee farm.

Tarrazucafe.com ( Don Evelio Coffee Farm ) is committed to actions consistent with an environmental conscience in all aspects of our business operations.

Our coffees are grown and harvested with proper care and respect for the land and the workers.

We evaluate all aspects of farm management and quality of the coffee. Our farms are covered with shade trees and we avoid the use of pesticides as much as possible to protect water and wildlife.

In 1991 we started purchasing rain forest in the Tarrazu County. By now, we control over 100 hectares of pristine forest located not far from the world famous Manuel Antonio National Park and Quepos.

We are also committed to support the LINCOS project located in El Rodeo de Tarrazu. Tarrazucafe.com ( Don Evelio Coffee Farm ) was borne of Lincos innovation.

We look forward to hearing from anyone interested in Environmental and Socially responsible initiatives, programs, or products.

We are constantly looking to foster new partnerships in our quest to further our vision of Environmental and Social responsibility.

You can contact us at Tel: SKYPE: jluncr or by sending e-mail to sales@tarrazucafe.com or sales@donevelio.com if you are interested in finding out more about how to foster Environmental and Socially responsible growth in our county.
