About The Farm
  • Beneficio San Diego, owned and operated by Café Capris, is one of Costa Rica’s most established and innovative coffee mills. Founded in 1888 and located in the heart of the Tarrazú and Tres Ríos regions, the mill has continually evolved its approach to processing, with a focus on efficiency, quality, and sustainable production. Their long history and willingness to experiment have made them a leader in developing new processing techniques.

  • For this coffee, only the ripest cherries from the highest slopes of Tarrazú are selected before undergoing an anaerobic fermentation in an oxygen-deprived environment. The fermentation encourages the development of distinct acids and flavours, with the high sugar content of the ripe cherries playing an important role. After fermentation, the coffee is sun-dried on patios to 11.5% moisture before resting in storage, allowing its character to further develop. The result is a distinct and recognizable cinnamon flavour.

Beneficio San Diego is a historic coffee mill in Costa Rica’s Tarrazú region, established in 1888 and known for its focus on quality, traceability, and innovative processing. Rather than being a single farm, the beneficio works with coffee producers throughout the surrounding high-elevation growing areas, processing their cherries through carefully controlled methods. Its long history and technical expertise have made San Diego an important part of Costa Rica’s specialty coffee industry, helping producers showcase the unique character of their coffees while maintaining consistency and quality from cherry to export.
