Roberta Mata – Costa Rica

Roberto Mata Naranjo comes from a Tarrazú family that has been in coffee since the 1950s. In 2017 he founded M+M Pura Vida with his wife and children, a family-run processing operation working across a small collection of high-altitude farms in the region. Roberto has spent decades refining what Tarrazú can produce, and his lots sit consistently among the most respected coming out of Costa Rica.

This lot is Regenified certified, one of the first coffees we’ve brought in carrying that mark. Regenified is a third-party verification programme focused on regenerative agriculture, measuring soil health, water quality, biodiversity and nutrient density against a defined standard rather than a marketing claim. In practice it means a farm that is building the ground beneath it rather than depleting it, and a producer prepared to be held to account. It is a direction we care about deeply and one we expect to see more of in the years ahead.

The lot is washed and dried in parchment on raised beds, a clean and traditional approach that lets the fruit of the coffee speak for itself. Caramel sweetness up front, finger lime cutting through the middle, ripe plum on the finish. A coffee that shows what careful farming, respect for the land and controlled processing can do without any of the theatrics.
