Brumas del Zurquí Micromill

Beneficio Brumas del Zurquí is a family-run micromill situated in Costa Rica’s Central Valley, within the Heredia sub-region. The mill receives ripe cherries from neighboring farms and processes a diverse range of varieties, including Villa Sarchi, SL-28, Bourbon, Gesha, Typica, Caturra, and Orange Bourbon.

The operation is led by Juan Ramón Alvarado Rodríguez and his family, who represent the fourth generation of coffee producers in their lineage. Since the early 2000s, particularly around the 2003–2004 harvests, they have focused on innovation in processing and significant investment in infrastructure, developing facilities such as a cupping laboratory and on-site roastery to maintain strict quality control and consistency.
