Coffee Exports
At CoopeTarrazú we export specialty coffee, connecting producers with international markets, guaranteeing flavor, freshness and a commitment to sustainability.
For 60 years, CoopeTarrazú has been a reference in the export of specialty coffee from Costa Rica, thanks to the combination of the coffee growing tradition of the Tarrazú region and a modern and efficient management.
Our ability to export directly to importers and roasters in different countries has been key to our consolidation as one of the country's most important cooperatives in the international arena. What distinguishes us is the unique quality of our coffee, appreciated by connoisseurs around the world.
With solid and diversified exports, CoopeTarrazú has managed to reach prestigious markets. The United States is the main destination of our exports, representing 55% of the total; 35% of the coffee reaches European markets and 10% Asian countries.
At CoopeTarrazú we care about exporting a quality product and also sharing a unique experience with our international customers. We guarantee that each lot of coffee maintains its exceptional characteristics, from its origin in the Tarrazú mountains to its arrival in the cups of the most demanding consumers.
For us, every export is a commitment to quality, sustainability and the well-being of our producer families, who are the heart of our cooperative.

La Pastora Tarrazú
La Pastora Tarrazú is the export brand that distinguishes CoopeTarrazú coffee worldwide. Our plantations are planted between 1,200 and 1,800 meters above sea level, in ideal climatic conditions for cultivation.
La Pastora stands out for being a coffee with high acidity, the main characteristic of our coffee growing region, which has conquered the most demanding palates in the world.
Each cup of La Pastora coffee reflects the efforts of thousands of producers and the legacy of excellence of our Cooperative.
Denomination of Origin
The seal of Denomination of Origin Tarrazú printed on our export bags is a guarantee of quality. This seal assures that the coffee comes exclusively from the Tarrazú region, famous for its specialty coffee.
The Denomination of Origin is a recognition of the unique characteristics of the region: an ideal microclimate, fertile soils and the dedication of local producers. Thanks to these factors, Tarrazú coffee is considered one of the best in the world.
With the Tarrazú seal, we export more than coffee: we export a tradition of excellence.
Community coffee
CoopeTarrazú's specialty coffee lots come from communities close to our cooperative, where each farm is carefully monitored to guarantee total traceability from harvest to processing.
This process ensures product quality and supports a solidarity economy that benefits all stakeholders: producers, buyers and consumers.
Each community produces a coffee with unique characteristics that satisfy all types of tastes among lovers of this prestigious beverage.
Environmental Labeling
In its eagerness to innovate and be a benchmark for coffee growing in Costa Rica, CoopeTarrazú became the first Cooperative to obtain Type III Environmental Labeling for export coffee.
This seal is a certification that provides detailed information to our customers around the world on the environmental impact of the product they receive throughout its life cycle. The environmental product delcaration resulting from this process is duly verified and follows the guidelines of the international standard ISO 14025.
From now on, all of CoopeTarrazú's export coffee bags will carry this label, which will strengthen the confidence of consumers at a global level, backed by the transparency in the management of its environmental footprint.
