We first encountered Régulo Gerardo Urena's farm in Costa Rica’s Brunca region in 2013. Back then, specialty coffee buyers rarely gave the country’s southernmost region a thought. Farmers like Régulo, who had recently acquired tools to oversee coffee production from seed to export, were quick to change minds—ours included. We’ve been particularly impressed by his array of honey-processed coffees. He’s well situated to support that range. Nestled between two mountain ranges, which are themselves bordered by Panama and the Pacific, Urena makes the most of Brunca's diverse microclimates by controlling every aspect of production on his farm.
