Farm
La Rocka, Tarrazú (San Pablo, Leon Cortéz)
Felipe Ospina is a scientist and visionary grower who founded La Rocka in 2021. Perched at 2,100 meters, it is one of the highest estates in Tarrazú. Felipe’s farm is a "living laboratory," where exotic Ethiopian varieties grow alongside large stretches of preserved native forest.
By blending science with nature, Felipe avoids harsh chemicals, focusing instead on biodiversity and resilient hybrids. He is a perfectionist of the process, overseeing every fermentation at the mill to ensure the thin mountain air translates into a clean, creamy cup.
The Highland Forest lot is his standout this season. Developed alongside Q-Grader Ricardo Hernandez, this coffee captures the intensity of the peaks. Felipe describes it best: “The 2025 harvest delivers a complexity and fruit-forward intensity that truly reflects the spirit of the high-altitude forest.”

Natural Process
A great cup begins with a seed. After two years of growing on the coffee tree, the ripe cherries are handpicked.
The whole cherries are sun-dried or shade-dried with the fruit still intact, allowing the sugars in the cherry to gradually transfer into the bean, creating sweet, fruit-forward flavor.
The beans are rested, milled, and shipped.
Small-batch Roasting
We roast in small batches to bring out better flavor and ensure your coffee arrives fresh.
Smaller batches allow us to fine-tune the roast curve, adjusting heat and timing with precision so each bean develops its natural sweetness and aroma.
Eco-friendly Packaging
Our coffee now comes in fully compostable bags (just remove the non-compostable stickers).
Compostable in industrial facilities, breaking down into natural, non-toxic components.
Even in the environment, they decompose much faster than conventional plastic.
Small deliveries arrive in plantable seed-paper bags and bigger deliveries arrive in recyclable kraft boxes.
