El Quizarra – Costa Rica

Hazelnut • Raisin • Creamy

Celebrating 10 years of partnership, Carole Zbinden is a household name at the roastery. Admired for her personalized approach, she embodies the gardener’s spirit – the name of her family mill translates to “Garden of Aromas” – and shares unrivalled knowledge of agronomy.

This lot of hand-picked Caturra is white honey-processed, meaning just a small amount of mucilage was left intact on the seed to dry. El Quizarra makes an excellent espresso but is easy to enjoy with any brew method.

People & Place

Carole Zbinden, El Quizarra

Carole’s farm is always a highlight of our annual visit to Costa Rica. Her impeccable processing uses innovative and sustainable methods to get the best results, including water-saving ecopulpers and composting the coffee cherries to fertilize future crops. Not only is the philosophy of El Quizarra something we admire, it also results in a clean, subtle and sweet cup that is easy to enjoy.

The Land

Carrizal de Alajuela, Central Valley

Tucked between the Poas and Barva volcanoes, El Quizarra resides in the central highlands of Costa Rica. The typography is characterized by rolling hills, scene mountains, and towering volcanoes, making climate extremely regional. The wet season is particularly intense in the valleys and south of the region, which supports some of the world’s most impressive biodiversity.
