Based in the small town of Santa Maria de Dota at the centre of the growers of Tarrazu is the processing mill \u0026amp; facilities belonging to the cooperative which was established in 1960 and represents nearly 1100 producers. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThey were the first coffee processors to achieve certified carbon-neutral status partially due to their ingenious use of waste honey water as fertiliser. The cooperative focuses on fair pricing, quality \u0026amp; the people involved. They try to address gender inequalities by providing opportunities for women so that more of the younger generations are able to stay in the area reducing the generational drift to big cities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe cooperative support the youth in sports, seeing members in the Paris Olympics with Taekwondo and cycling, as well as keeping an eye on the future by running a coffee school certified by ICAFE. This is focussed at 17- and 18- year-olds and is on top of their diploma, covering all aspects of the industry from the cherries through to being a Barista. It has been running now for nearly 20 years. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e: Costa Rica\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e S\u003cspan\u003ean José, Dota, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1,500–2600m\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Catuai, Yellow Catuai, Red Caturra, Yellow Caturra \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Washed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoast:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"962\" data-start=\"905\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"923\" data-start=\"905\"\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grapefruit, Pear, \u0026amp; Caramel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"958\" data-end=\"980\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"963\" data-end=\"978\"\u003eThe process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherries are picked across some of the 1070 members farms and delivered to either bank stations in a centralised area or brought directly to the beneficio in Santa Maria de Dota.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBank stations deliver as soo as they have a lorry load of the same quality, the main beneficio unloads directly in to the right department.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherry is measured by fanega and cajuela, and first goes through one of 12 depulpers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen follows a dry fermentation stage of 16-18 hours before water is added, finishing in a wash and removal of all the mucilage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeans are then dried in pre-dryers and guardiolas with air temp always below 40°C until dried to 11% moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2619\" data-start=\"2385\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bohee Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"250g \/ whole bean","offer_id":57579934286207,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ espresso","offer_id":57579934318975,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ stovetop","offer_id":57579934351743,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ filter","offer_id":57579934384511,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ cafetiere","offer_id":57579934417279,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ green beans","offer_id":57579934450047,"sku":null,"price":8.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ AeroPress","offer_id":57579934482815,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ whole bean","offer_id":57579934515583,"sku":null,"price":41.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ espresso","offer_id":57579934548351,"sku":null,"price":41.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ stovetop","offer_id":57579934581119,"sku":null,"price":41.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ filter","offer_id":57579934613887,"sku":null,"price":41.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ cafetiere","offer_id":57579934646655,"sku":null,"price":41.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ green beans","offer_id":57579934679423,"sku":null,"price":31.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ AeroPress","offer_id":57579934712191,"sku":null,"price":41.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0702\/4508\/9584\/files\/Untitled-03March2026at12.48.26-14.png?v=1779288253","url":"https:\/\/www.bohee.coffee\/products\/costa-rica-hermosa-1","provider":"Bohee Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
