Consequently, many buyers are willing to pay twice as much for this variety compared to others.

Little Bee comes from San Vito, a small town in south-central Costa Rica surrounded by mountains. In the 1950s, it attracted a large number of Italian immigrants to settle here. Abejilla Farm is located at an altitude of 1,400 meters and features the world's unique coffee variety - Venecia (Variedad Venecia). Its maturation period extends 25-40 days longer than traditionally cultivated varieties, producing larger beans with superior aroma and concentration, always attracting special buyers competing to purchase this rare variety. Abejilla Farm processes green beans using the honey method, with 100% sun-drying throughout the process, resulting in absolutely off-the-charts sweetness.
