A Nicoya fable, as we tell it
Scroll slowly. Or quickly. Your call.
Chapter 1
High in the hills of Nicoya, a sloth and a hummingbird shared the same coffee tree.
Chapter 2
The sloth moved through the branches so slowly that moss grew on its coat. The hummingbird never seemed to land at all, drinking from every blossom in the valley.
Chapter 3
For years, each one was sure the other was living all wrong.
Chapter 4
Then came the harvest. The sloth bit into a ripe red cherry and found chocolate, caramel and almonds. The hummingbird tasted the very same cherry and found sweet lime.
Chapter 5
Both were right. Same tree, same cherry, a different pace. In Nicoya, where people live longer than almost anywhere on Earth, that might be the whole secret: knowing when to use each speed.
Taste both speedsSame bag, two speeds
Both came for the same cup. Look closely at our bag: the sloth hugs it slowly, the hummingbird sips straight from the valve. That's the whole idea, printed on the front.

Move fast
The bright side of the cup. A lift of sweet lime that wakes everything up. For the 7 a.m. cup that has to deliver, and still manages to surprise you.

Why Nicoya
The Nicoya Peninsula is one of the world's five Blue Zones, places where an unusual number of people live long, active lives. Slow mornings, strong community, and a pace that knows when to rush and when to stop.
We won't tell you a cup of coffee will add years to your life. We just think coffee should come from a place that knows how to live them well.
Where our coffee comes from, and where our next story is headed.
Our coffee is grown and processed by a cooperative of producers in the Nicoya Peninsula. Buying their coffee keeps value in the region that grows it.
Rich soil and a clear wet and dry season let the cherries ripen slowly and evenly, which is where the sweetness comes from.
We roast at origin, so the coffee is finished by people who know it from the farm, not from a shipping manifest.
