Information:
At the beginning of the 19th century coffee production was in its early beginnings in America. Two pioneers and entrepreneurs, Alejo C. Jiménez (Costa Rica) and Wilhelm Kahle (Mexico), shared the same dream: “To produce the best coffee in the world” in order to satisfy the new demanding European gourmet market.
They started to work together in order to make the dream become true. This is how Volcan Azul was born.
Today, descendants of these visionary farmers still produce coffee within the same ideals of excellency and top quality that inspired their ancestors, adding the value of conservancy of natural resources, through the acquisition of extensions of natural rainforest for its protection and conservation. These facts are small actions taken by one family to reduce air contamination and global warming.
The production process starts with the planting of the coffee trees on highly fertile volcanic soil above 1400 masl (SHB) in 3 different regions from Costa Rica.
