JOSE MARIO FROM LOS CUARTELES IS IN OSLO!

We are excited to have Jose Mario from Costa Rica visiting us 🇨🇷 

 

Jose Mario grew up in a coffee-producing family that started the Los Cuarteles micro-mill in 2014. Their vision was taking advantage of the cup quality and the attributes of their roots in the Los Santos area. 

 

Jose Mario is one of four sons of Mario Araya Mora who, as a family run the Los Cuarteles micro-mill that we have been working with since 2021. He is here helping out around our Oslo coffee bars and teaching us all about Costa Rican coffee production!

Earlier this week, we gathered to hear from Jose Mario about growing coffee in Costa Rica and taste some of the coffees from Los Cuarteles micro-mill. Jose Mario brought everything from black, red, and yellow honey processed coffees to geishas, some he roasted himself in Costa Rica and some we roasted together here on our Roest sample roaster. It was a wonderful evening of sharing knowledge and connecting through our passion for coffee!

 Mario has been able to celebrat 17. Mai, enjoy the beautiful Norwegian weather & nature, drink way too much cold brew slush, talk coffee production and roasting and most importantly just spending time together developing lasting friendships while eating ZZ pizza!
