We met Roberto Mata back in 2005 when he was leading one of the most successful cooperatives in Central America. Roberto started a new chapter in his coffee story in 2018 when he started a family-owned coffee operation with his wife and children called M+M Pura Vida, which processes and markets coffees from the family's collection of small farms in Tarrazú, including this honey-process lot from his La Pachuca farm.

How To Brew
We recommend starting with a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio, which provides an excellent total extraction level and maximizes flavor pulled out of the ground coffee. For our single origin coffees we recommend a pour over method either on a Chemex, V60 or Kalita Wave on a 5 or 6 grind setting if you are ordering from Intelligentsiacoffee.com.
