Costa Rica ~ The Strays “Zaguates”

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.
