Our Partnership with Bocanegra

The Bocanegra Difference

Bocanegra Coffee Roasters was formed through the collaboration of Mario Salas, recognized as one of the best and most experienced specialty coffee roasters in Central America, and Pupila, a premier design agency also considered among Central America's finest in its craft. This unique collaboration brings together world-class roasting expertise with exceptional brand design for a brilliant display of coffee culture.

Their artisan coffee roasting approach emphasizes small-batch precision, allowing each single origin coffee to express its unique characteristics in beautiful ways. Through ongoing coffee selection from Costa Rica's premier growing regions such as Tarrazu, Tres Rios and the Central and West Valleys, we maintain a curated selection of nearly 10 distinguished varieties that showcase the country's diverse coffee profiles. With Bocanegra, we have the opportunity to offer everything from caturra to villalobos to geisha to SL-28 and beyond.

Bocanegra's commitment to fostering direct trade relationships with local farmers ensures transparent sourcing and supports Costa Rica's coffee community. This alignment with our own values creates an authentic connection between farm and cup, supporting sustainable coffee practices while maintaining exceptional coffee quality standards.

By partnering with Bocanegra, we celebrate Costa Rica's thriving specialty coffee culture while offering our Nosara community and its visitors an authentic connection to the country's rich coffee heritage.

But Don't Take Our Word For It!

Bocanegra coffee is served at over 20 premier specialty coffee shops throughout Costa Rica, establishing them as a preferred partner among many of the country's premier establishments. Mario and his team also consult with producers throughout Central America to submit their finest coffees to the prestigious Cup of Excellence competition, demonstrating their track record of identifying and showcasing the most exceptional harvests.
