Lot 31: Volcan Azul Alejo Castro Kahle
Lot Pricing Information
In the middle of the 19th century, when coffee production was in
its early beginnings in America, without knowing it, two pioneers
and entrepreneurs, Alejo C. 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 with the same ideals of excellency and top quality that
inspired their ancestors. They produce one of the best pure coffees
of the world with its Brand “F.C.J. Volcan 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 1400 mts above
sea level (SHB). It continues with a meticulous process at the
coffee mill and finally ends with a strict preparation of the
export qualities, which are roasted to reach the final
consumer.
Nowadays, the descendants of Don Alejo C. and Don Wilhelm want to
enhance further 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, not just words, 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 to inherit to our future generations
to inherit. More info: http://volcanazul.com/
