Santa Elena Estate – Costa Rica **

**This coffee roasts to order on Tuesday of each week**

Located in the highlands of Costa Rica’s most famous coffee growing region, Tarrazú, Santa Elena Estate is owned and operated by Luz Marina Trujillo (aka Luzma). Luzma is the original bad ass: she was the first to utilize honey-processing in Costa Rica and is a strong female farmer in an industry still dominated by men. Luzma’s coffee is shade grown, hand-picked and sorted for quality at her own mill. Last year Luzma invested in new depulpers and this resulted in higher quality scores (vs last season). So clean and tasty! Santa Elena takes a holistic approach to sustainability, minimizing synthetic inputs and utilizing a closed-loop fertilizing system.
