Story
This single-origin espresso harmonizes the luscious sweetness of blackberry jam, the warming notes of spiced rum, and the bright citrus character of lemon curd. Its jammy body transitions into a lingering, coating finish.
Nestled near the base of Poás Volcano in Costa Rica’s lush West Valley, Hacienda Sonora is an extraordinary 100-hectare estate owned and operated by the father-and-son team of Alberto and Diego Guardia. For over a decade, the Guardia family has been an esteemed member of the Costa Rican specialty coffee community, and we’ve had the privilege of sourcing their exceptional coffees for over a decade.
Of the estate’s 100 hectares, 55 are dedicated to coffee cultivation, 10 to sugar cane production, and 35 to protected natural forest preservation. This commitment to land conservation fosters a thriving ecosystem, characterized by diverse wild vegetation, abundant biodiversity, and nutrient-rich volcanic soils that nurture the coffee trees.
Sustainability is at the core of the Guardia family’s approach. Hacienda Sonora employs Honey and Natural processing methods for all its coffees, significantly reducing water consumption. Honey processing saves approximately three gallons of water per pound of coffee, while Natural processing eliminates water entirely.
This thoughtful approach results in coffees that capture the essence of Poás’s remarkable terroir and reflect the Guardia family’s dedication to responsible farming, innovation, and exceptional craftsmanship.
Last year, we were delighted to welcome Diego Guardia to our roastery and cafés. He spent time with our team, shared his expertise, and engaged in discussions about specialty coffee. His visit strengthened our long-standing partnership, and we are proud to continue sharing the exceptional coffees of Hacienda Sonora year after year.
