True Coffee was born in Santa María de Dota, in the heart of Tarrazú, one of the most renowned coffee growing regions in the world for the exceptional quality of its high-altitude beans. We are a family-owned business dedicated to producing, selecting, and roasting specialty coffee with an approach that honors the tradition, traceability, and work of the communities that bring each harvest to life.
We believe that truly specialty coffee is the result of taking care of every stage of the process: from micro-lot cultivation to final roasting. That is why we work without intermediaries and rigorously control each variable that defines the taste, aroma and freshness of the product that reaches your cup.
An origin that makes a difference
The history of True Coffee is closely linked to the Dota Mountains, where the climate, altitude and volcanic soil create the ideal conditions for the coffee to develop bright acidity, natural sweetness and complex aromatic notes. Our commitment is to value this origin, maintaining practices that respect the identity of the grain and its sensory profile.
Here, in each batch, the effort of local producers, the daily dedication to the mill and the experience we have accumulated over the years in roasting are reflected. Our purpose is simple but profound: to offer authentic, fresh and carefully brewed coffee.
Our philosophy
At True Coffee, we work under three principles that guide everything we do:
Quality without compromise
We select micro-batches with exceptional characteristics and control the roast to ensure a consistent, aromatic and balanced profile.
Origin and traceability
Each coffee comes from identified farms and specific processes. Knowing the origin is not only a guarantee of transparency; it is part of the sensory experience.
Proximity to customers and businesses
We collaborate with end consumers as well as with cafes, restaurants and hotels looking for a Costa Rican coffee of high altitude, roasted by expert hands and delivered fresh.
Artisanal roasting with technical precision
Our roastery combines technique, experience and sensitivity. We adjust roast curves to bring out the best in each bean based on its variety, density, and process. This allows us to create profiles that faithfully express its character: natural sweetness, clean aroma, pleasant acidity and balanced body.
From coffees for filtered methods to roasts designed for espresso, we work with precision to deliver a stable, high-quality product.
Coffee for those looking for something authentic
We handle both individual orders and bulk purchases. We know that each customer has different needs and we adapt to offer personalized solutions: from grinding recommendations and preparation methods, to commercial proposals for cafeterias and gastronomic businesses.
Our commitment to coffee goes beyond selling a product. We want to share a piece of Tarrazú’s culture, support local producers and bring to the world a coffee that represents the best of Costa Rica.
