Rivense Reniser ET47 Honey

In January of 2023 we visited the Ureña family for the first time. This was the start of a truly wonderful friendship. One year later, in February of 2024, we had the opportunity to visit them again. It felt like we were seasoned friends at this point. We continue to be amazed at how willing this family is to joyfully bring us into their day to day lives. 

On our most recent visit, we stayed close to the family home and had our meals with the Ureña family. We were able to tour their farms (Chirripó and Reniser), see how they process the coffees, and cup those same coffees. It was a beautifully immersive experience! 

Regulo and his wife Isabella have four sons Ricardo, Mario, Esteban, and Luis as well as a daughter named Tatiana. The three eldest sons work alongside Regulo on the farms and at the mill. With the help and encouragement of his sons, Regulo made a shift from traditional farming practices a little over a decade ago. They made innovations that included acquiring an exportation license and building a wet and dry mill. From nursery to exportation, the Ureña family now oversees every step of the process. 

The use of exclusively experimental processing methods sets the Ureña's coffee apart on the global market. These processes in combination with the cultivation of rare and highly sought after varieties makes their coffees truly next level.  

This particular coffee is a varietal called ET47, an Arabica coffee varietal that originated in Ethiopia and is used as a mother plant to create F1 hybrid coffee varieties. The goal of the cross was to combine the high performance of the ET47 mother plant with the high cup quality potential of father landrace varietals like Geisha. F1 hybrids can combine traits like higher yields, disease resistance, and taste. However, they can be costly to obtain, which limits their availability.
