BACKGROUND
Tirra Estate is located in the San Marcos district in the Tarrazu municipality, and sits at elevations of 1500-1600 masl. The cherry grown on the estate is processed by the Cooptarrazu cooperative mill. Tirra Estate is owned by Coopetarrazu and was purchased to conduct coffee research and microlot production. More than 60 percent of the 100ha farm is dedicated to coffee production.
The Tarrazu region is a rural community noted throughout the world for its traditional values and leadership in growing fine coffees. It is one of the world's most famous regions for coffee cultivation. Optimum soil and climate, paired with highly skilled and experienced producers, make it ideal cultivating conditions.
Funds raised through the sale of this coffee will be invested in the supply of organic fertilizer and shade trees to member producers.
