Beneficio San Diego Honey Process – Costa Rica’s Finest Innovation

Beneficio San Diego, Costa Rica’s most advanced coffee mill, has been pioneering quality and sustainability since 1888. Specializing in coffees from the renowned Tarrazú and Tres Ríos regions, this mill is dedicated to innovation, efficiency, and working closely with farmers to produce exceptional coffee while supporting local communities.

This unique Honey Process coffee showcases the best of Costa Rican craftsmanship. Developed in Costa Rica and now embraced across Central America, the honey process leaves some or all of the coffee cherry’s natural mucilage—often called "coffee honey"—on the beans during drying. This enhances the coffee’s natural sweetness and complexity, creating a cup that is rich, smooth, and layered with vibrant flavor.

Sourced from a collective of smallholder farmers in Tarrazú, this coffee is carefully selected for its exceptional quality. Only the ripest cherries are chosen, then depulped while retaining their natural sugars before being slowly dried on African beds or patios for optimal flavor development.

Costa Rican coffee is known for its premium quality and commitment to sustainability. With producers receiving nearly 80% of the FOB value, every purchase supports ethical sourcing and fair compensation. Experience the brilliance of Costa Rica in every sip—smooth, sweet, and truly distinctive.
