Sourcing · Green coffee · Roasting · Training
We’re a specialty coffee team in Costa Rica. We source, trade, roast and train every day, and The Sloth & The Hummingbird is how we share it with you: one origin at a time.
Q Grader certified quality · National Roasting Champion 2025 on our team
Our coffee · Origin No. 01 · Nicoya
Chocolate, caramel and almonds with a sweet-lime finish. Honey processed and grown at 1,200 masl in the Blue Zone of Nicoya.
For cafés, roasters & brands
Green coffee with no minimum order, roasting under your own brand, and hands-on training for your team. We work every step of the chain in Costa Rica.
Why we exist
Every day we visit producers, cup lots, roast and train. Too often the coffee leaves and its story stays behind. We're here to bring both across, from the farm to your cup.

Who we are
We're three co-founders in Costa Rica, and we don't hand off the parts that matter. We taste it, we roast it, we bring it to you.
(and yes, we answer our own emails)
01 · Finds it
Co-Founder · Sourcing & Quality
the one with the spoon
Out in the farms with producers and cooperatives, then back at the cupping table. If a coffee carries our name, it passed through his spoon first.
02 · Roasts it
Co-Founder · Head Roaster
the one by the roaster
Costa Rica's National Roasting Champion in 2025 and an advanced barista. He brews what he roasts, tastes it, and goes back to adjust until both speeds show up in the cup.
03 · Brings it to you
Co-Founder · Sales, Marketing & Strategy
the one who won't let the story stay behind
He leads sales, marketing and strategy, buys our green coffee, and makes sure that when a bag reaches your kitchen, the story arrives with it.
Got a question about a coffee, a farm, or how to brew it at home? Write to us. One of the three of us will answer. Not a bot, not a call center. Us.

What we do
We work coffee from farm to cup every day in Costa Rica, for our own brands and for roasters, importers, cafés, hotels and brands. Whatever part of the chain you need, start here.
We travel Costa Rica's coffee regions to find, cup and select lots, working directly with producers and cooperatives. Tell us the profile you're after and we'll go find it.
Best for: roasters and importers looking for specific profiles or a reliable origin partner.
We connect buyers with Costa Rican green coffee. Every lot is evaluated by a licensed Q Grader on our team before it moves, so you know what you're getting.
No minimum order: buy what you need. Best for roasters and buyers who roast their own.
We roast at origin in Costa Rica, for our own brands and for yours. Roasted coffee for your menu or shelf, or white label and private label coffee under your own brand, finished where it's grown and with the story ready to tell.
Best for: cafés, restaurants, hotels, retailers, and brands launching their own coffee.
Hands-on coffee training for teams, 100% in person: brewing methods, espresso, and how to talk about origin so guests understand what's in their cup.
Format: 100% in person. Best for café, restaurant and hotel teams.
Something else in mind? A coffee trip, a custom blend, an introduction to a producer. If it involves Costa Rican coffee, ask us.
