Experience the bright sweetness and balanced charm of Costa Rica in every cup. This washed process coffee from the Central Valley delights with notes of candied pineapple, brown sugar, and buttery shortbread, showcasing the classic characteristics of a Costa Rican coffee: soft acidity, smooth body, and an all-around balanced flavor.
Beyond its exceptional taste, this coffee marks Wildflyer’s first relationship-based sourcing project. It’s produced by young farmers in the Café Juventud program through Coop Libertad in San José, Costa Rica, supporting growers aged 20–40 with technical training and capital. A portion of the proceeds from each bag sold goes directly back to the farmers, allowing them to reinvest in their farms. The program empowers these growers to take over family farms, increase profitability, and address the aging coffee farming population—creating a sustainable future for both coffee and community.

THE PROBLEM:
25% rise in demand by 2030 → but production is falling behind.
40–50 million bag shortage projected within just 5 years.
55 years old → the average age of today’s coffee farmer.
Less than 5% of the world’s farmers are under 35.
WHY THE GAP?
Market volatility, climate change, economic instability, and unlivable wages push young people away from farming.
Farming Age Gap

IN THE MEDIA
Coffee That Creates
Opportunity. Equity. Sustainability. Futures.
“Only 10% of our farmers are under the age of 40,” Felix says, translating what Guillermo has just said in Spanish. “This is a real problem.” I nod my head. This is a problem. And that’s why I’m here.
