COPEY Solis & Cordero is a family-run project led by veteran producer Iván Gerardo Solís Rivera and his wife Leandra Cordero. After more than 20 years of experience in coffee cultivation, processing, and quality control, Iván established Beneficio Santa Fe in 2018 to process his own coffees and to provide services for smallholders in the Santos region. The family manages several farms—including Finca Santa Maria, Cuatro Vientos (1,650 masl, 6 ha), and Finca Voo—and they focus on high-altitude cultivation of Catuai and Caturra. Their portfolio ranges from traditional honeys and naturals to experimental fermentations (anaerobic processes of 72–92h, extended fermentations up to 144h, and cinnamon infusions), developed in collaboration with CormaCafe (Brazil) through their Selvatech fermentation inputs. This blend of tradition, family involvement, and innovative processing makes Solis & Cordero a key name in Costa Rican specialty coffee. Finca Voo is situated at an altitude of 2,000 meters in the highlands of Copey de Dota, this farm benefits from a special microclimate, ideal conditions for growing traditional varieties like Catuaí. Once harvested by trained pickers the coffee cherry are then rinsed with clean water and then they are directly laid out to sun-dry on raised beds for 19 days.
