About
We're excited to share another exceptional Catuai from our good friend, Steven Vargas, a fourth-generation producer we visited last December in Costa Rica. Grown at his Don Sabino micromill at the foot of the Poas Volcano, Orvo benefits from the same rich volcanic soil and unique microclimate, sunny mornings giving way to cool, misty afternoons, that makes this corner of Alajuela so special.
