Producer Info (from Vamay Coffee)
Vamay Coffee is the result of a Costa Rican family business from Santa María de Dota, a rural area known internationally for the good quality of its coffee. It emerged in March 2020 in the midst of the COVID health emergency.
This project is led by a woman head of household who, together with her 2 daughters and son, intend to transcend the coffee production chain, giving added value to the good in order to find better and fairer opportunities in the national and international market. It focuses on producing high-quality coffee and providing unique and unforgettable experiences to all our consumers.
It is a micro company committed to social and environmental well-being. We also believe that the production and processing of any food must be done in a sustainable way. The coffee is grown at Finca Alto el Vapor, which has 90% of the mountain in conservation, and also has water springs that even supply water from part of the community of Santa María de Dota.
For the family, these characteristics are very valuable and untouchable, we are committed to their protection. The coffee plantations are located between 1800 and 2100 meters above sea level, which indicates that Vamay Coffee is a high altitude coffee. Both factors, among other aspects, such as the management of the plants and the traceability provided, allow us to indicate that each grain of our harvest has unique properties. Excellence, dedication and love are committed to our product.
It is also important to note that as a family from a rural area we seek for Finca Alto El Vapor to be a comprehensive farm that contributes to sustainable development and although our main product is specialty coffee, other foods can be obtained such as, for example: citrus fruits, avocado, banana, roots, vegetables among others. In this way, monoculture is avoided and we work on a circular economy and agriculture.
