Volcanica Coffee
Volcanica Coffee is a family-owned specialty coffee roaster focused on exotic coffees, committed to offering only the finest quality ingredients from volcanic regions around the world.
The inspiration came from frequent trips to the family’s homeland of Costa Rica, where they constantly enjoyed coffee with tremendous flavor. At the same time, the family knew most people in the U.S. were satisfied with tasteless, bitter coffee and were unaware that coffee could be an exotic experience.
This is why they started Volcanica Coffee, to focus on high-quality single origin coffees and help educate consumers about what coffee can truly be.
