What is Blue Zone coffee?

Blue Zone coffee” here refers to coffee grown in Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula—one of the world’s five Blue Zones, known for long-lived communities. Our Cerro Negro peaberry is sourced from this region so you can taste the place and story.

Why does the Blue Zone matter for this coffee?

Nicoya’s longevity culture—purpose, family, natural movement, and simple foods—shapes the community behind this coffee. While we don’t make health claims, this lot is grown inside the Blue Zone and celebrates that origin.

What is a peaberry and why do people like it?

In about 5–10% of cherries, only one seed develops—a round “peaberry.” Many roasters prize peaberries because they can roast evenly and often taste sweet and aromatic.

Producer & origin

A Peaberry selection from Costa Rica’s Blue Zone

Produced by Coopepilangosta R.L. at Cerro Negro, this CR95 Peaberry comes from Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula. The selection offers a focused, rounded expression of a warm Guanacaste origin.

The cup is clean and comforting, with nuts, vanilla, caramel and chocolate candy supported by gentle citrus. It is designed for customers who want sweetness, body and consistency rather than a highly acidic profile.

The process

Fully washed for clarity and balance

The coffee fruit is removed and the seeds are carefully fermented, washed and dried. This fully washed pathway supports a clean cup and clear separation between sweetness, body and acidity.

The Peaberry selection adds a compact, focused structure that works especially well in Medium and Dark roasts.
