The Zalmari Coffee Estate headed up by Ceci Genis lies in the micro-region of Cachí, in the Orisí Valley of Costa Rica. Nestled between volcanic mountain ranges, looming shade trees are among the fields of the coffee farm, allowing for a longer maturation process and the coffees to develop greater complexity, with cold evening temperatures that benefit the ripening of rich, full-flavored beans. During the milling process, reduced amounts of water and anaerobic oxidation tanks ensure the water recycled back into the rivers is clean to protect the natural flora, fauna, and the surrounding forest.

Fourth-generation Cecilia Genis runs Zalmari Coffee Estate with her mother, Marigold Murray. Since founding the Zalmari Coffee Estate in the 1920s, the Murray family have woven their values into their work: protect the environment with sustainable business practices, support the Cachí community, and farm top-quality coffee. We are thrilled to bring this coffee to our lineup, with a delicious balance of sweetness and acidity, we believe this offering is great however you choose to brew it.
