The Story of Los Campos Estate
In the mountainous regions of Costa Rica, where morning mist rises above the coffee trees and surrounding forests provide natural protection against extreme weather conditions, lies the family-owned estate Los Campos. The farm is managed by the Ramirez-Navarro family, whose story begins with Mr. Alexis Ramirez — a devoted farmer who, through deep respect for the land and unwavering dedication, laid the foundations of quality that the family continues to uphold today. His vision remains the guiding principle behind every decision, from planting new varieties to shaping the final cup profile.
In 2015, the family took a decisive step forward by building their own micro-mill, Los Campos. This milestone allowed them to gain full control over processing, quality, and traceability. Transitioning from the traditional cooperative system to direct trade marked a turning point — bringing greater freedom to experiment, increased responsibility toward customers, and, above all, a clearer identity for each individual lot.
Caturra and Catuai are the predominant varieties grown on the estate, developing remarkable sweetness and elegance in the high-altitude environment. At the same time, the family invests in the future by planting F1 hybrids such as Esperanza, Milenio, and Centroamericano, introducing greater resilience and complexity. At the highest point of the farm, around 2,000 meters above sea level, Gesha is cultivated within a forest-protected microclimate that enables exceptional aromatic precision.
Los Campos brings together classic and modern processing techniques. From meticulously executed washed profiles to advanced aerobic and anaerobic fermentations, every process reflects careful control of temperature, time, and microbiological activity. The result is coffee with defined structure, transparent terroir expression, and distinctive sensory clarity.
Coffee from Los Campos is more than a harvest; it is the continuation of a family legacy — where tradition meets innovation, process control meets future vision, and respect for the land meets the ambition to produce outstanding specialty coffee.
