 If you're looking for a coffee with not too high of an acidity, you've come to the right place. Upon cupping, we opine that even though there's a mild acidity that reminds one of not-so-intense dark berries or raspberries, this coffee is still considered sweet and easy to drink.

Proudly founded and managed by Régulo Ureña and Isabel Rojas since 2005, Finca El Mango is located in the valleys of Chirripó mountains with microclimate that is optimal for agricultural activities. Named by the indigenous people, Chirripó means "the Land of Eternal Waters" because there are many lakes and streams around the mountains.

Finca El Mango is the first specialty coffee farm in the region, where their neighbours were producing commercial coffees. The family pushed through all odds and survived the hardest early stages to build a name for themselves, and made a comeback when their microlot won the 5th place in Costa Rican Cup of Excellence 2019 - a first from the Brunca region!
