Brumas del Zurqui

Beneficio Brumas Del Zurqui is a micromill located in the Central Valley region of Costa Rica in the sub-region of Heredia Where neighbouring farms deliver cherries to this micromill. To be fermented, dried and milled ready for purchase.

The mill is managed and run by Juan Ramon Alvarado Rodriguez and his family. They are fourth generation coffee producers and in 2003-2004, they began innovating their processing methods and expanding their processing infrastructure with a cupping laboratory and roastery to ensure that quality is maintained and every lot they produce meets the strict standards. This infrastructure is crucial to the mill and is one of the reasons why the family has the reputation of producing incredible specialty grade lots.

Juan takes great pride in what he does and is glad to have been able to build a family, generate employment, and provide a positive social and economic impact to his community through coffee. 

Juan encourages the roasters who buy his coffee to roast with intention and wake up feeling motivated, cheerful, and with a desire to live and have new experiences! He hopes that the values and love of coffee he cultivates on the farm will be carried all the way through the pipeline from seed to cup.
