Kiss the Ground Coffee

Certified Regenerative Coffee Sourced from La Bella Farm in Costa Rica

Farmer and Soil First

We collaborated with local Costa Rican company Buena Vida Specialty Coffee to bring you a certified regenerative coffee that supports the wellbeing of coffee farmers and our soil. Each bag of Kiss the Ground Coffee is regeneratively-sourced from La Bella Farm, a small-scale, family-run farm in Los Santos, Costa Rica. Our coffee is certified regenerative by Regenified.

Meet Our Farmers

La Bella Farm is a fourth-generation regenerative farm run by brothers Esteban, Arturo, and Heriberto Marin.

Farming practices

At La Bella Farm, nature-based farming techniques such as intercropping, cover cropping, and agroforestry are implemented to cut out the use of chemicals. Buena Vida Specialty Coffee collaborates with the United Nations FAO to equip farms with the skills to measure soil fertility and their carbon footprint. These methods ensure every step of the coffee’s journey is regenerative and traceable.

Kiss the Ground Coffee Starts at La Bella Farm in Costa Rica

Growth + Harvest

Kiss the Ground Coffee’s journey begins at the La Bella farm, distinguished by its tier 5 certification from Regenified.

Grown at 1600 meters above sea level in Los Santos, some of their coffee plants are 130 years old.

Processing + Roasting

The beans, grown as Caturra-Catuai varieties, are processed using a semi-washed method.

In addition to being locally processed, the beans are roasted in-house in Costa Rica to bring out notes of chocolate, sugarcane, tangerine and hazelnut.

Packaging + Delivery

From here, our coffee is packaged in Costa Rica in 100% compostable packaging.

Kiss the Ground Coffee is then shipped to our independently-owned warehouse in San Diego, California, before being shipped directly to you!

The journey doesn’t end here: your donation will continue to support La Bella Farm and the growth of regenerative agriculture!

“Made the coffee this morning – first off, thank you. I enjoyed it – very fresh/clean/high quality. I typically buy very premium coffee (Stumptown, Philz) and this was a solid competitor – I prefer a darker roast but this was quite enjoyable. I scanned the QR code to review the site/etc – all great and I think you all have done a good job of showcasing the product and how it fits the overall regenerative movement. Well done."

The coffee is fantastic!

"Very smooth."
