Volcán Azul - Fully Washed

The cherries are pulped using a centrifuge, after which a mechanical washer removes the remaining mucilage from the beans.

The clean parchment is then dried on the patio, regularly turned from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and covered each afternoon.

If necessary, the lot is slowly finished using low temperature mechanical drying.

Total drying time is approximately 6–10 days, depending on weather conditions

Volcán Azul is a historic family owned coffee project in Costa Rica, with several generations of experience in coffee production.

Located on the slopes of the Poás and Barva volcanoes in the Central Valley, the farms benefit from high elevations, volcanic soils and a cool climate, creating ideal conditions for specialty coffee.

The project focuses on producing distinctive microlots through careful variety selection, selective harvesting and meticulous processing. Volcán Azul works with both traditional Costa Rican varieties and renowned cultivars such as Geisha and SL-28, while exploring different processing methods to express the unique character of each lot.

Environmental conservation is also a key part of the project, with significant areas of native forest protected alongside coffee
production.

Today, Volcán Azul is recognised for its high quality microlots and nanolots, combining tradition, innovation and a strong commitment to quality and sustainability.
