Romelia SHB EP comes from the cloud-kissed Palmichal rainforest, bordering the famed Tarraz region of Costa Ricaa land known for its exceptional acidity and refined cup quality.
The story begins with Manuel Rojas Arias, a pioneer coffee grower who introduced coffee to the Palmichal region on the western slopes of the Escaz Mountains. His success inspired other farmers to replace their sugar crops with coffee. After his passing, his sister Doa Romelia carried on his legacy, maintaining the same dedication to quality that defines this coffee today.
A Legacy of Excellence

That heritage continues today with meticulous sorting and processing that meets the European Preparation standard.
