Santa Lucia: Red Honey Coffee from Naranjo, Costa Rica

Discover Santa Lucia, a red honey-processed coffee grown in the West Valley of Costa Rica by renowned producer Ricardo Perez Barrantes. With over 30 years of experience and a passion for innovation, Ricardo continues to elevate the craft of coffee at his farm and mill, Helsar de Zarcero.

About Santa Lucia

Situated at 1,750 metres above sea level in the lush hills of Naranjo, Santa Lucia benefits from the cool climate and nutrient-rich soil of Costa Rica’s West Valley. Ricardo Perez has been cultivating coffee here for nearly three decades, pioneering small-scale milling and sustainable practices through Helsar de Zarcero, a community mill that supports over 30 local farmers.

Ricardo’s farm exemplifies innovation — from his cascara production plant that transforms coffee cherry husks into tea and natural dyes, to his nursery cultivating experimental varieties that push the boundaries of Costa Rican coffee.

Expert Processing at Helsar de Zarcero

This lot of Typica, Villalobos, and Caturra is processed as a red honey, a method that enhances body and sweetness while maintaining clarity in the cup. After pulping, some mucilage remains on the parchment, giving the beans a sticky, amber coating. They are then dried slowly on tiered raised beds, a technique that deepens sweetness and develops a syrupy texture.

Flavour Profile

This coffee presents a smooth and rich cup with notes of raisin, blackberry, and milk chocolate. The red honey process amplifies its sweetness and creamy mouthfeel, making it an exceptional choice for both espresso and filter brewing.

Why Choose Santa Lucia Coffee?

Balanced & Sweet: A rich flavour profile with deep fruit and chocolate tones.
Sustainably Produced: Waste from cascara is repurposed for tea, dyes, and soil enrichment.
Innovative & Community-Focused: Supports smallholder farmers across the West Valley.

Experience Santa Lucia

Order Santa Lucia today and taste the craftsmanship of Ricardo Perez and the team at Helsar de Zarcero — a perfect balance of sweetness, structure, and sustainability from Costa Rica’s West Valley.

Special treat

This is a nice change from my usual Transend coffee. I use it more for cappuccino/lattes then every day morning coffee. Always great!

Rich flavor, medium roast

I love fruity and sweet flavor profile. I guess I really like the red honey process that leaves a lot of fruit on the beans.

I've noticed that I need to grind finer than usual but dialing in was a pleasant experience. I use a higher temperature (94-96 degrees), 5 seconds 2 bar preinfusion and 9 bar gradually descending pressure profile. I use a smaller 14g basket and a manual lever machine.

Santa Lucia

I love this coffee. It’s mild but distinct flavour.

Great coffee
