Costa Rican Coffee Company
Matambu, The Blue Zone Coffee
$38.00
Unit price $3.17 per ozThe Blue Zone coffee. There are only five places on Earth where people routinely live past 100. The Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica is one of them. Matambú is an indigenous Chorotega territory in the mountains of Hojancha — the only indigenous territory in the world within a Blue Zone, and the only Blue Zone that grows specialty coffee.
In 1962, twenty-three farmers founded Coopepilangosta, tired of being at the mercy of large buyers. Six decades later, the cooperative supports 192 families across 246 hectares. The Chorotega people rise before dawn, eat fortified maize and beans, work the land by hand, and live in multi-generational households where elders are treasured. They drink coffee from trees they tend themselves, using ancestral techniques. The volcanic soil here is rich in calcium — which may explain the region's remarkable longevity.

Let customers speak for us
The customer service here has been top notch. The coffee is fresh and flavourful and the team has been very responsive and communicative. I am very thankful to have found them and use them as my sole coffee source now.
After a recent trip to Costa Rica and a one bag purchase of Geisha Coffee, it became very evident that I hadn't bought nearly enough. I was very happy that I was able to find more on-line. I will keep getting more. I have been forever spoiled.
This coffee blew me away. It’s incredibly smooth with delicate floral notes and a subtle fruity brightness that makes each sip feel special. You can really taste the quality there’s no bitterness, just clean, vibrant flavor. Definitely not your average morning brew it feels more like a treat!!
Another great coffee from Cafe Tico! This is our second order and the coffee was so smooth. Sure you can find coffee from Costa Rica in Marshall’s but it is definitely a lower quality and from many different farms. You get what you pay for. I want to sit and enjoy that first coffee in the morning.
I’d been happily drinking the same coffee for many years. I’ve tried different beans here and there but always went back to our go-to. Then I tried this one… Now I can’t go back, this is so much better! Smooth, chocolaty, delicious. It has become our new go-to.
All Saturdays going forward, will be known as Geisha Saturday!
I brewed chemex for my wife and I…time for nerdy tech specs. Please forgive me:
I used a Baratza Encore grinder set to 28, the “suggested” chemex grind. I then boiled filtered water (cuz I ain’t no amateur) to a RIPPING BOIL and let come down in temp a bit before the pour.
The aroma filled my kitchen, and the coffee dripped a beautiful amber/ruby color. The aroma stayed consistent with fruity notes, raspberry, chocolate.
Taste is incredibly smooth and balanced. Fruity for sure, with chocolate and light tannic structure on the very back end.
Def not an everyday coffee as it is a special one…my wife and I both can see this as the coffee they brew table side at Michelin service style restaurant.
I tried the Honey flavor and loved it. Super smooth with a mild sweetness and cozy brown sugar/caramel notes that really stood out. Such a delicious and balanced cup of coffee!
I just had my first cup of the Los Santos Honey Caturra-Catuai, and it’s honestly one of the smoothest and most flavorful coffees I’ve tried in a while. The medium roast brings out this amazing mix of caramel and dark chocolate, with a bright mandarin orange note that really pops. You can tell the honey process adds depth without any bitterness—just a rich, clean finish. It’s a really well-balanced cup, and I can see why it scored so high. Definitely coming back for more!
This coffee has a unique flavor than any coffee I have had. Can definitely taste the chocolate and honey notes on it and doesn't give me the jitters! But a calm alertness to the mind.
Great coffee, great price, and excellent service. Highly recommend to everyone!
What a great way to start your morning. We choose the whole bean and while it does add a couple of minutes to making the coffee, it is well worth it. The flavors are rich and smooth. I use it in my espresso machine that has a grinder. It takes me back to the cafe in Italy. Can’t wait to try the next batch.
