Costa Rica Sonora San Isidro 48

San Isidro 48 is a Sarchimor hybrid—derived from Villa Sarchi and Timor—developed in collaboration with Finca Volcán Azul and designed to thrive in Costa Rica’s unique growing conditions. Named after the nearby town of San Isidro, this variety is prized for its high yields, strong resistance to leaf rust, and impressive cup quality. In the cup, San Isidro 48 shines with bright acidity and fruit-forward character, often expressing tropical and citrus notes.

This coffee is produced at Sonora Coffee, the on-site mill at Hacienda Sonora, located at the base of Costa Rica’s Poás Volcano. For over 50 years, three generations of farmers have stewarded this land with a deep commitment to conservation and sustainability. Volcanic soil, high elevation, and a distinct microclimate combine with meticulous farming to create expressive coffees. The shade-grown estate prioritizes natural and honey processing to conserve water and operates entirely on 100% renewable, on-site energy—making it one of Costa Rica’s most innovative and environmentally responsible producers.
