Café Rivense is a family-run micromill founded in 2005 by Régulo Ureña and Isabel Rojas in the mid-southern region of Costa Rica, in a microregion known as Chirripó. Though only a few hours from the capital, San José, the winding mountain roads make the journey feel like a true adventure.
The farm is managed by the entire Ureña family – sons Ricardo, Mario, Esteban, and Luis – each bringing their own expertise to every part of the operation.
Over the years, Café Rivense has grown sustainably, achieving full independence across all stages of coffee production: from hand-picking the cherries, to processing and dry milling, all the way to sealing and exporting their own containers.
What truly sets Café Rivense apart is its organization, sustainability, and respect for nature. The farm is rich in biodiversity, with native plants and shade trees woven throughout the coffee plots. Their agricultural practices include annual soil analysis, responsible fertilization, minimal water use during processing, and complete traceability from farm to export.
We source this lot through our partners at 88 Graines.
