From the producer

Roberto Mata Naranjo began M+M Pura Vida with his wife and children in 2018. Intelligentsia says the family operation processes and markets coffees from its collection of small farms in Tarrazú, including La Pachuca.

From the roaster

Intelligentsia has maintained a long-standing relationship with Roberto Mata since 2005, supporting his shift toward independent, family-focused coffee production.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

La Pachuca documents Roberto Mata Naranjo’s transition from cooperative leadership to a family-run farming and milling operation, while the exact release demonstrates a classic Costa Rican honey-process profile without overstating undisclosed lot details.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Origin linked

Connected the existing Tarrazú record while retaining the verified La Pachuca farm and Roberto Mata Naranjo relationships.

Inherited claims removed

Removed Caturra, 120-hour fermentation, 15-day raised-bed drying, and unrelated rum/cola/milk-chocolate notes.

Current listing reconciled

Added the live page’s Apple + Raw Sugar profile and dated sold-out status; exact catalogs support 340 g at $21.

Evidence boundary recorded

Left altitude, harvest, fermentation duration, drying method, cultivar, and conventional roast blank.

What was added?

Tarrazú, exact current descriptors, 340 g package evidence, dated availability, four sourced profile sections, and a transparent correction record.

What wasn't added?

No cultivar, altitude, harvest date, fermentation duration, drying method, conventional roast category, public rating, or house score.

Why it matters

The profile now reflects the current exact product evidence instead of combining claims from another coffee or annual release.

What you might taste

Roaster-listed apple and raw sugar.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.
