Coffee cooperative Cooperativa de Caficultores de Dota R.L (CoopeDota) – established in 1960 – is one of the finest in Costa Rica. For starters, their environmental commitment is unmatched. CoopeDota has a first of its kind certified carbon-neutral mill, which features hydro-powered energy consumption, water efficient eco-pulpers (also called a demucilager), and mechanical coffee dryers fueled by coffee parchment. Nearly 900 producer-members living in the area prioritize farm management throughout the year and then deliver cherry to the CoopeDota mill where traceability and quality control are top priority. CoopeDota also has an intricate model of income diversification with a profitable agriculture supply store and tourism department dedicated to showing off coffee farms to visitors. They also roast their own coffee and operate three cafes and a cupper/barista training center.
