＜Story＞

The Las Margaritas farm, inherited by Emmanuel Solís and named after his eldest daughter, was once considered only suitable for "cattle grazing and dairy production" due to its high altitude and cold climate. However, Emmanuel saw the potential of this land and began his challenge at a time when high-altitude rare varieties were gaining attention.

He planted exotic varieties such as Catuai, Geisha, SL28, and H3, and established on-site processing using a Penagos Eco Pulper and covered raised beds. The climate change driven by global warming also became a tailwind, aligning with the demand from buyers seeking foreign varieties. Emmanuel's vision became a reality, and the farm is now one of the most highly regarded producers in Costa Rica.

Surrounded by the beautiful nature of Los Santos overlooking the valley, the farm is carefully managed in symbiosis with diverse plants, crops, and livestock, operating in an environmentally conscious and sustainable manner.

 

＜H3 Variety＞

H3 is an F1 hybrid variety created through a collaborative research project by CIRAD (French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development), PROMECAFE, and CATIE.
It was developed by crossing an Ethiopian indigenous variety (E531) with Caturra.

Originally, F1 hybrids are created with the aim of increasing resistance to pests and diseases and genetic diversity. However, H3 initially received a low evaluation due to its slightly weaker resistance to coffee leaf rust.
Nevertheless, research cultivation continued due to the excellent flavor characteristics of H3, and it has recently gained attention as a high-quality coffee.

 

＜Manufacturing Cost (per 150g)＞

① Direct Material Costs:
Material costs that can be directly attributed to the production of roasted beans.
(e.g.) Green beans, valve-equipped resealable bags, front label, back label
The direct material cost ratio (direct material costs ÷ regular price × 100) for these beans is 40.1%.
② Indirect Material Costs:
Material costs that cannot be directly attributed to the production of roasted beans.
(e.g.) Blades or rubber parts of label cutting machines
③ Direct Labor Costs:
Labor costs that can be directly attributed to the production of roasted beans.
(e.g.) Wages paid to employees involved in manufacturing, such as roasting work or bagging roasted beans
④ Indirect Labor Costs:
Labor costs that cannot be directly attributed to the production of roasted beans.
(e.g.) Wages paid to employees not involved in manufacturing, such as administrative work
⑤ Direct Expenses:
Expenses that can be directly attributed to the production of roasted beans.
(e.g.) Costs incurred when outsourcing a part of the manufacturing process, such as bagging roasted beans, to an external contractor
⑥ Indirect Expenses:
Expenses that cannot be directly attributed to the production of roasted beans.
(e.g.) Electricity/gas costs used for roasting, depreciation of roasting machines, electricity costs for storing green beans at low temperatures

The sum of ① to ⑥ above constitutes the manufacturing cost.
*When sales expenses incurred for selling the product and general administrative expenses incurred for the overall management of the store are included in the manufacturing cost, it is called the total cost.
