Both sides of the family have worked in the coffee industry in Costa Rica since the 19th century, and they have run the Volcan Azul micro-mill together for 15 years.

Jiménez in Costa Rica and Wilhelm Kahle in the south of Mexico, shared the same dream: “To produce the best coffee in the world” to satisfy the new demanding European gourmet market. More than a century has passed, and today the fourth and fifth generations of descendants of these visionary farmers still produce coffee within the same ideals of excellency and top quality that inspired their ancestors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey produce one of the best pure coffees of the world with its Brand “F.C.J. Volcán Azul” on the slopes of the Poás Volcano in Costa Rica. Today, the production process starts with the planting of the coffee trees on highly fertile volcanic soil above 1500 meters above sea level (SHB). It continues with a meticulous process at the coffee mill and finally ends with the strict preparation of the export quality beans. Currently, the descendants of Don Alejo C. and Don Wilhelm want to further enhance the principles of quality inherited by our founders by adding the value of conservancy of natural resources, through the acquisition of extensions of natural rainforest for its protection and conservation. These facts, are small actions taken by one family to reduce air contamination and global warming.” This is the contribution we want to make to mankind, this is the new awareness we want our future generations to inherit.For our family, the conservation of natural resources is of prime value, which is why we are committed to protecting vast extensions of tropical rainforest in the Costa Rica since the 80’s.” Work as a team the two families have acquired over 1,500 hectares of rainforest for ecological preservation in areas where they grow their coffee as well as in the Osa Peninsula, a region in the South of Costa Rica known for holding 2.5% of the Earth’s Biodiversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are proud to work with environmentally conscious family who is contributing to reducing the effects of global warming. This is the attitude towards the environment that we want to pass on to our children and future generations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Social Coffee \u0026 Tea Co.","offers":[{"title":"Medium \/ 227 g \/ Whole bean","offer_id":50580816068930,"sku":"M2090-227g-WB","price":32.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ 227 g \/ Espresso #2","offer_id":50582414360898,"sku":"M2090-227g-#2","price":32.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ 227 g \/ Cone filter #5","offer_id":50582414426434,"sku":"M2090-227g-#5","price":32.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ 227 g \/ French press #10","offer_id":50582414524738,"sku":"M2090-227g-#10","price":32.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0937\/4767\/5458\/files\/CostaRicaVolcanAzulGeshaNaturalAnerobicMed.webp?v=1755214007"},{"product_id":"peoples-daily","title":"Daily Bump","description":"\u003cp\u003e(Formerly People's Daily)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSocial’s #1 favourite, Daily Bump is engineered to offer a long service life as your daily wake-me-up.

It’s also home to the biodiverse Nyungwe forest, where rainfall ranges from 1300 to 1400 millimeters per year. The soil is volcanic and rich.

It’s right above Lake Kivu and the view looks down on the watershed, all the way down to the lake itself. Kanzu is on the downslope right below this forest, at an extremely high elevation, and we’ve always seen how climate plays a huge role in the flavor development of these coffees.
