Cost Rica - leader of the pack
Costa Rica's coffee farmers have earned a reputation for being some of the best coffee farmers in the world.
Costa Rica farmers are certainly on another level.
Our Costa Rica Jaguar micro lot produces beautiful sweetness.
With unique flavours of caramel, toffee, and praline with refined acidity, you will love the gorgeously long finish that lingers forever.
Besides the medal-winning performances in previous years, this coffee continues to improve every season.
An extraordinary Grand-Cru selection exhibits a superb stone fruit finish with a candy-like sweetness.
This beautiful coffee is from the San Diego mill, rated as the most sustainable in Central America.
With abundant stone fruits, red apples, caramel, toffee, and rich milk chocolate, we love the incredible sweetness of any brew application.
Why Costa Rican coffees are so good
Costa Rica's volcanic soils, mountainous terrain, and plentiful rainfall provide ideal conditions for cultivating high-quality coffee beans.
Costa Rica's coffee farmers are well-respected leaders in coffee processing techniques.
They invented and perfected the "honey" style of processing raw coffee, which adds incredible sweetness.
It's an essential method of processing coffee; many other coffee-growing countries have copied the honey style.
But Costa Rica's critical advantage over the rest of Central and South America is its stable and vibrant economy.
Unlike El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and, to some extent, Honduras, which lack capital, labour, and critical infrastructure, Costa Rica is a modern, well-resourced, and capable region.
The biggest challenge for Costa Rica is preserving land traditionally used for coffee farming by real estate developers.
Developers are hungry to convert farming areas into expensive Condominiums, catering to a growing US retiree market.
As recently as 25 years ago, Costa Rica relied heavily upon the coffee industry to keep the economy running.
However, Costa Rica's economy is far more diverse, with extensive manufacturing and real estate tourism as the key drivers of growth and affluence.
Subsequently, there has been a reduced reliance on agricultural products such as coffee.
Costa Rican coffee farmers are the most professional in the world, and the coffees command high premiums in the global market.
Our lovely Jaguar
The Costa Rica Jaguar coffee is prepared by a hulling of the parchment using coffee sundried in a greenhouse.
A method designed to cater to wet conditions, further ensuring better coffee quality.
Jaguar is an innovative brand designed by Jürgen Plate, a great coffee specialist and one of the country's most respected coffee pioneers.
His fluency in coffee blending and design led to the creation of Jaguar. The name commemorates Volcafe's role as a leading sponsor of the Jaguar Conservation Program in Costa Rica.

Why our coffees are different
Our custom SUPA-ROASTA is a one-of-a-kind, fully cast-iron platform using the most advanced computer controls for ultra-precise roasting of the best-tasting coffees.
These days, complete cast-iron roasting systems are extremely rare. Only cast-iron platforms can impart that highly desirable soft, moist heat into the coffee beans.
Would the best chefs and BBQ experts cook their culinary delights on Stainless, Alloy or Mild Steel or Air ?
Nope, neither would we.
mycuppa's SUPA-ROASTA creates coffees with smooth, rich, high-flavoured tastes, full and syrupy body, fine acidity and of course our trademark long, sweet finish.
Nothing compares.
how we roast your coffee
Roasting coffee is a precise science. These days, computer profiles perform most of the automated tasks for controlling a roast profile. However, through better quality control via tasting, testing and optimization, we can make a big difference to the finished product through setting special parameters.

Ground coffee is poor value
Whole beans are the only way to enjoy freshly roasted coffee.
The moment coffee beans are ground, most of the essential, active compounds in ground coffee oxidize rapidly, losing vitality, aroma, flavour and body.
Ground coffee barely lasts 15 minutes; even sealed packs lose more than 80% of the critical essence in 2 weeks.
Unfortunately, once you open and close that pack, it's game over, and the ground coffee continues to stale at 20x the rate of whole beans inside of a sealed, unopened pack.
If you love coffee, please don't waste money buying pre-ground packs; you only get a small part of the wonderful coffee experience.
Buy a decent grinder and purchase whole beans; it makes a huge difference in aroma, flavour, and enjoyment.
