About farm: The Spanish Castro‑Jiménez family from Costa Rica and the German Kahle family from Chiapas, Mexico, founded their coffee business in the early 19th century. Alejo is the fifth‑generation member of the Castro‑Kahle family, whose coffee‑farming history on the slopes of Poás Volcano in central Costa Rica spans over 100 years. To this day, family descendants keep prioritizing quality standards. They acquire native rainforest land to preserve natural resources and boost conservation value. The farm also carries out multiple initiatives to mitigate air pollution and global warming.
About Variety:Selected in 1931 from a drought-resistant strain in Tanzania, SL28 was developed by Scott Laboratories and genetic testing confirms it belongs to the Bourbon group. The plant is tall with bright green young leaves, producing high yields and large beans with strong drought tolerance, making it ideal for medium to high altitudes. Although susceptible to leaf rust and coffee berry disease, it now receives widespread attention even in Central America.
