Mela's Garden - Celebrating National Coffee Day

This National Coffee Day, we’re sharing a collection that brings our family’s coffee story back to Costa Rica.

Long before Volcanica Coffee had a name, our mother and grandfather helped harvest coffee in Costa Rica’s volcanic mountains. That connection has stayed with us. As a family-owned roaster, we’ve always looked for coffees that invite you to learn where they came from—and whose hands brought them to harvest.

In 2020, a farm visit led us to Finca Las Mercedes and the work of Mela Gamboa. The Gamboa family’s roots on the estate stretch back more than a century, and Mela continues to tend it with her family today. We were drawn to the care behind the coffee and to a farm story that, in its own way, echoed ours: one generation passing its knowledge and love of coffee to the next.

Mela’s Garden brings together five coffees from Finca Las Mercedes: San Isidro 48, Villasarchi, Pacamara, Bourbon Amarillo, and Obata. Each offers a different way to explore what Mela and her family grow. We’re proud to share their work with you, and we hope this collection gives you a reason to slow down, brew something new, and get to know the farm behind your cup.
