Volcán Azul is a distinguished coffee farm in Costa Rica with a rich history spanning over 200 years. Nestled on the fertile slopes of the Poás and Barva volcanoes in the Alajuela region, the farm benefits from mineral-rich volcanic soils and a cool climate at elevations between 1,500 and 1,700 meters above sea level.
Under the stewardship of Alejo Castro, a fifth-generation coffee producer, Volcán Azul continues its legacy of excellence by cultivating a diverse range of coffee varieties, including Caturra, Geisha, SL28, and Sarchimor, with great results at Costa Rica Cup of Excellence, year by year.
The farm employs innovative processing methods such as washed, honey, and natural techniques to highlight the unique characteristics of each varietal. Volcán Azul''''''''s commitment to quality and sustainability has earned it recognition in the specialty coffee industry.
