Las Nubes / M y M

For six generations the Mata family has cultivated coffee in the mountains of Tarrazú. Roberto Mata and his grandson Erick Mata combine that experience with practices designed to protect and rebuild the soil.

At Las Nubes, coffee grows alongside banana, avocado and native trees. The family makes biochar, processes coffee on-site and explores carefully controlled fermentations.

The origin has received recognition in Cup of Excellence in 2022, 2023 and 2024. Its continuing story is one of shared learning across generations.

The family’s work with biochar and controlled fermentations connects two forms of experimentation: caring for the soil and exploring what happens after harvest. The producer's experience matters at every stage, from maintaining a diverse landscape to deciding how coffee is processed.
