El Perezoso: The Uber of Coffee Escapes

Tucked into the cloud-kissed peaks of Los Robles de Naranjo lies Finca El Perezoso, a coffee farm where each bean is steeped in the spirit of Costa Rican adventure and serenity. Here, coffee cultivation transcends mere agriculture—it’s an art form akin to an idyllic retreat into nature’s embrace, established in the revolutionary year of 1968.

This isn't your average cup, it's a legacy in liquid form. The heirs of coffee pioneers meticulously tend each plant, marrying tradition with innovation, ensuring every bean embodies their forebears' passion and precision. And the result? A whopping 2907 fanegas annually—each fanega heralding a spectacular journey into six containers of green coffee, where each container cradles 275 sacks, with each sack tipping the scales at 69 kg. Yes, it's a bounty that could make even the most laid-back sloth swing into action.

Named 'Perezoso Washed' after the emblematic sloth, one of Costa Rica's most iconic and beloved creatures, each batch of this coffee promises a taste of the tranquil yet exhilarating Costa Rican landscape. Picture the scene: skilled hands turning beans under the vast sky on sun-drenched patios, the coffee slowly acquiring its rich, nuanced flavours akin to a leisurely safari—no exorbitant fees, long travels, or heavy gear required.

Finca El Perezoso offers not just a cup of coffee, but a daily safari into flavor. It's where every sip is a reminder that the best things in life aren’t rushed. They’re cultivated, savored, and enjoyed at a pace that would make a sloth nod in approval. And yes, just like that iconic Uber Safari, it’s an escape into the wild, accessible with just a pour, no booking required.

So, here’s to Finca El Perezoso—because the only thing better than coffee is coffee that feels like a day trip into Costa Rican paradise, one cup at a time. Pour, sip, and let the adventure begin. After all, this isn’t just good living; it’s good coffee living.
