The story behind a cup of coffee that honors Costa Rican tradition.

The story behind the flavor

In the green mountains of Costa Rica, where volcanic soil meets the clouds and birdsong, “1429 Latitud” is born — more than a coffee, an experience in every cup.

“1429 Latitud” is a coffee born from respect for the land, Costa Rica’s coffee-growing tradition, and the fair work of farming families. We harvest by hand, select each coffee cherry individually, and roast in small batches to preserve the freshness and soul of every bean.

1429

It’s not a random number. It’s the altitude in meters above sea level at which our coffee is grown, across several family-owned farms located in the Brumas del Zurquí, Tarrazú, and Dota regions. This elevation provides the ideal climate for the beans to mature slowly, developing unique flavor profiles: bright acidity, natural sweetness, and unmistakable floral and fruity notes.

Latitud

Represents our roots and our place in the world. We are located near the 10th parallel north, a privileged latitude that crosses some of the most renowned coffee-growing countries. But beyond geography, “latitud” also means openness, horizon, and direction—the path we follow toward quality, sustainability, and fair trade.

Costa Rica

Here is the heart of this coffee.
Each bean is born in Costa Rican soil, grown at high altitudes by families who honor the country’s coffee-growing tradition. Including “Costa Rica” is not a geographic label—it is a statement of identity, quality, and pride in origin.
