I'm Catalina, the fourth generation of my family to grow coffee in Tarrazú. My father has worked our land since he was a boy. For most of his life, his harvest went to the local cooperative as cherries, blended with everyone else's and shipped off without his name. He never knew where his coffee ended up or who drank it. Much of it still goes that way today.
Three years ago, we began processing part of our harvest ourselves, by hand, in small lots. I started Manural so my father could finally taste his own coffee, and so you could too.
Today we also work directly with neighboring growers who share our standards: shade-grown coffee, artisanal processing and exceptional nanolots and microlots. We bring them straight to the UAE and roast them in small batches, so every bag carries the work of a family you can name.
