Helsar de Zarcero

Honey / Stone Fruit / Caramel / Brown Sugar

Helsar de Zarcero S.A. was founded by three organic coffee producers seeking to add greater value to their product. Initially, the focus was solely on coffee from their own small farms. However, after tasting the coffee, a buyer recognized the exceptional potential of beans grown in regions such as Llano Bonito de Naranjo and Zarcero, located at an average altitude of 1,700 meters above sea level, with temperatures averaging 21°C and annual rainfall of approximately 2,400 mm.

The coffee’s success created an opportunity to begin processing beans from neighboring farms as well, supporting small local producers who often lack the resources to invest in their own processing facilities.
