Costa Rica El Alto washed
Vamay Coffee is the result of a family-run business from Costa Rica in the Santa María de Dota region, which is globally renowned for its high-quality coffee. The business was established in March 2020, in the midst of the COVID pandemic, and is led by Doña Mayra Solis, who, along with her son and two daughters, focuses on growing the finest quality coffee.
The coffee itself is grown on the Alto El Vapor farm, 90% of which is part of a protected reserve. The farmers also have springs that supply water to part of the community in Santa María de Dota. The El Vapor farm is situated at an elevation of between 1,800 and 2,100 meters above sea level.
The El Alto lot was harvested on February 15, 2024. After harvesting, the coffee was fermented in an open tank for 3 days, then hand-washed and dried on African beds for 15 days until the moisture content reached 10.5%.

Bag or tube?
For our coffee, we use recyclable bags, which are more suitable for the coffee, or tubes. The choice of packaging is up to you.
The tubes are great as gift packaging. We would be happy if you reused the tubes for other things (for pencils, glasses, etc.), or if you bring the tube back when you come for more coffee.
