100% Chain of Custody Rooted in family tradition since 1970, Cloza Estate reached a transformative milestone when Kathia Zamora took over farm management in 2001. Working alongside her parents, Clodoveo and Jeannette, Kathia modernized their processing techniques and established their own micro-mill on-site. By taking direct control of every stage from harvesting through exporting, the Zamora family guarantees total direct-trade transparency and a 100% chain of custody from their farm to your cup.

Terroir & Taste Cultivated at high elevations in the volcanic soils of West Valley Naranjo, this washed lot highlights the clean, classic character of the estate's harvested beans. The washed process removes the sweet cherry fruit prior to drying, resulting in a crisp, highly balanced cup. Developed into a smooth medium-dark roast, Rosario delivers prominent nutty aromas, deep comforting cocoa warmth, low acidity, and a rich, full-bodied mouthfeel.
