Heredia is a tiny province situated in the north central mountain region of Costa Rica and mostly located in the Central Valley.

FARM: Cooperative Farms
This coffee is produced by various farmers. The small size of their exquisite estates does not permit for feasible export volume, so they pool together to produce an exceptional Strictly Hard Bean.
