{"product_id":"specialty-matambu","title":"Matambu, The Blue Zone Coffee","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCOFFEE DETAILS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eNicoya Peninsula, Guanacaste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAltitude: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e600–1,000 masl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVarieties: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eCR95\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProcess: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eFermented\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFarm Size: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e246 ha (192 families)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCertifications: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eNAMA Café, Cooperative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p3\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eQ-Score: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e86.75\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHarvest: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e2025\/2026 Crop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Costa Rican Coffee Company","offers":[{"title":"Light \/ Whole bean \/ 12oz","offer_id":51378068554026,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Whole bean \/ 12oz","offer_id":51378068521258,"sku":null,"price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0868\/2946\/5898\/files\/AEF321E3-992C-45F3-9E20-F50CE8887292.jpg?v=1777930389","url":"https:\/\/crcoffee.com\/products\/specialty-matambu","provider":"Costa Rican Coffee Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
