Description

Finca Casa de Piedra is a family-run estate in Tarrazú, operated by father-and-daughter team Gerardo and Jennifer Arias. With over three decades of experience in cultivating and processing specialty microlots, their focus is simple: produce exceptional Costa Rican coffee in harmony with the environment, guided by ethical and fair practices.

This natural Red Catuai reflects the farm’s ideal growing conditions — rich volcanic soil, a cool high-elevation microclimate, and meticulous processing. Expect a fruit-forward, expressive cup with deep sweetness, bright tropical energy, and a clean structure that speaks to Tarrazú’s signature clarity. It’s a lively yet balanced natural, crafted with intention.

Why We Chose It

We selected this coffee for its combination of heritage and bold flavour. Casa de Piedra brings both experience and innovation to their microlot processing, and it shows in the cup. The altitude, the soil, the careful drying, and the family’s commitment to quality all come together in a coffee that is vibrant, sweet, and characterful.

For drinkers who love naturals with clarity - not muddled, not heavy - this lot is a standout. It offers a beautiful expression of Costa Rica’s terroir while remaining approachable and versatile for both filter and modern espresso.
