Discover Coopedota Coffee from the lush Tarrazú region of Santa Maria de Dota, Costa Rica. Grown at 1550-1800m in rich volcanic soils, it offers a rich, smooth cup with notes of chocolate, hazelnut, almond, and caramel, complemented by a lingering lemon acidity.
Located in the famed, lush green hills of the Tarrazú region, the tranquil town of Santa Maria de Dota is home to Coopedota. The cooperative operates as an important economic and cultural resource for the town's tight-knit community whose main industry is centralised around coffee production. At altitudes between 1,450 and 1,900 metres above sea level, the main micro-climate in the area is strongly influenced by the pacific-ocean and near-by natural reserves drawing in rainfall.
Established in 1960 by local coffee producers, Coopedota was designed to aid with financing, coffee processing and exportation through an economy of scale. Since then it has evolved into a exemplary cooperative of more than 900 members, producing approximately 60,000 69 kilo bags of coffee per year.
