Steven Vargas

Steven Vargas operates in the Central Valley region of Costa Rica, cultivating coffee across an altitude band ranging from 1500 to 1900 meters. This geographic context provides the foundation for the lots produced in the area. The varietal landscape represented in the catalog includes Caturra, Bourbon, Villa Sarchi, and Typica. These cultivars form the agricultural base for the harvested lots. The process portfolio observed in the catalog consists entirely of natural processing methods. Both indexed lots utilize this treatment approach. The catalog footprint for Steven Vargas includes two total coffees, both of which are currently in-stock. These lots are carried by two different roasters, reflecting a modest distribution across the index. Recent lot examples feature the Costa Rica Don Sabino roasted by Raw Sugar Roast, utilizing a natural process and Typica variety, as well as the Costa Rica Steven Vargas roasted by Cat & Cloud Coffee, featuring a natural process and a blend of Caturra, Bourbon, and Villa Sarchi varieties. The work of Steven Vargas is characterized by a focused application of natural processing across a diverse selection of traditional Central American varietals.
