Discover the Women's Harvest Costa Rica
A coffee shop run by women, guided by precision
At Carrera Café, we believe that performance always begins at the source. Before the cup, before the extraction, even before the roasting, there is the bean. And behind that bean, there are women.
Our coffee comes from Costa Rica Women's Harvest , a program that highlights the work of women coffee producers committed to a humane, sustainable and quality-oriented approach.
In several coffee-growing regions of Costa Rica, women play a central role in coffee cultivation... they participate in farm management, harvesting, cherry selection, and quality control. Yet, their contribution too often remains invisible.
The Women's Harvest was created to change this reality. It aims to recognize women's leadership in coffee production, promote their economic independence, and value their expertise through distinct, traceable, and rigorously selected batches.
Each Women's Harvest is the result of precise, patient, and consistent work—qualities we deeply respect. It's a philosophy that aligns with our own.
At Carrera Café, this approach resonates naturally with our world. In motor racing, victory is never a matter of chance.
It is based on preparation, repetition, mastery of techniques, and respect for the process. The Women's Harvest embodies this very philosophy; every decision made in the field influences the final result, just as every adjustment influences performance on the track.
A perfectly balanced Costa Rican coffee
In the cup, the Women's Harvest from Costa Rica stands out with a balanced, elegant and structured profile.
He expresses himself with finesse:
- in espresso, for its clarity and length on the palate
- and particularly well in a classic latte, where its smoothness and structure remain intact.
A coffee that doesn't seek to impress with strength, but with consistency, like a car perfectly tuned for endurance.
Roasted with precision by Brûlerie Rousseau
To fully showcase this coffee, we needed a partner who shared the same high standards. Our Women's Harvest coffee is imported and roasted by Brûlerie Rousseau , a Quebec company renowned for its methodical and respectful approach to the product.
Roasting is conceived as an engineering process... temperature, curve, development and balance are precisely adjusted to respect the identity of the bean, without ever masking it.
As in racing, it's not about pushing to the maximum, but about finding the perfect point.
From field to cup, a precision chain
The Women's Harvest we serve at Carrera Café is the result of a whole chain of thoughtful decisions:
- coffee grown by women in Costa Rica
- selected for its quality and traceability
- Roasted with care in Quebec
- precisely extracted in our coffee
Every step counts. Every detail influences the final result.
An origin that sets the tone
The origin of our grain is not just a selling point. It is the foundation of our approach. Choosing Women's Harvest means affirming that quality comes from respecting human labor, recognizing expertise, and constantly striving for balance and mastery.
That's exactly what we're looking for, whether we're in a café or shopping.
