  „The only way you can get down around 1.25/lb green is if your using the lessor quality coffees from central america or others. Even if you're buying in larger quantities a good Costa Rican Tarrazu is around $1.60, a great Tarrazu is around $3/lb. Yemen's around $4, Kenya AA is around $2. My point is that you can't say somethings to high if you don't even know what it's made of.“

  „As soon as Nicholas and his two sons have eaten a stack, along with some black beans, they head down the hill into their trees. Each coffee tree is about 12 feet high. They're dense with shiny green leaves and the branches are covered with clusters of bright red berries. The little coffee beans that you'd recognize are hidden inside that red pulp.“

Fresh Cup Magazine

  „Last November, I spent a week in Costa Rica, politically and socially the most progressive country in Central America and a long-time leader in coffee quality and technology. Costa Rica's success has resulted in a higher standard of living than its neighbors and in the highest coffee production costs in Central America. It is a country famous for its environmental stewardship and has successfully dealt with many issues that its poorer neighbors have yet to confront (such as water pollution from coffee milling). Visiting this beautiful country at a time of crisis in coffee offered valuable insight into the problems all producers of fine, washed arabica coffees are soon likely to face.“
