Costa Rica ~ The Strays “Zaguates”
Roast:
Medium
Featured Dog
In Costa Rica, mixed-breed dogs are lovingly known as “Zaguates” — a term that has become a proud symbol of individuality, resilience, and charm. Rather than focusing on pedigree, Costa Rica has embraced the idea that every dog is unique, lovable, and worthy of a home.
The country’s famous “Territorio de Zaguates” rescue movement helped shine a global spotlight on rescue dogs by celebrating them not for what breed they are, but for who they are. Every Zaguate is wonderfully one of a kind, often described with playful made-up breed combinations that are as unique as the dogs themselves.
And honestly, anyone who has ever adopted a mixed breed dog already knows they somehow come with 30% extra personality included at no additional charge.
Flavor Notes
This medium roast from Costa Rica delivers a bright yet comforting cup with tasting notes of sweet apple, raisin, and honey. Grown by micro farms in the Alajuela region, the coffee develops exceptional sweetness and balance thanks to high-altitude growing conditions and rich volcanic loam soil.
Carefully eco-pulped and dried naturally in the sun, every batch reflects the craftsmanship and sustainability Costa Rican coffees are known for.

Thank you for the opportunity to sample this coffee. As someone who typically drinks a bold Hawaiian blend, I was interested in trying this Costa Rican variety.
I found this coffee to be very light and mild, with a smooth flavor profile. My personal preference leans toward stronger, more robust coffees, so this blend wasn't the best match for my taste. That said, coffee is very subjective, and I can see this being a good option for those who enjoy a lighter, less intense cup.
Although I would choose a darker, bolder coffee for myself, I appreciate being able to try a different style and wish the company the best as it continues to grow.
The coffee has a nice sweet aroma and body. Love that this coffee supports a good cause!
