August 10, 2026 — Costa Rica Today marks the first day of a new chapter in the Costa Rican coffee business. We are proud to announce the launch of Factor T, a marketplace created to connect Costa Rican coffee producers with buyers around the world and unlock greater commercial potential for Costa Rican coffee. Costa Rica produces exceptional coffee. Our goal is to make sure that quality reaches the right markets — and that producers have better opportunities to capture the value their coffee deserves. From local farms to global markets Factor T is being built around a simple idea: create a more direct connection between Costa Rican coffee and international buyers. We will work alongside local farmers, producers, and suppliers to showcase their coffees, their farms, their varieties, their processes, and the unique characteristics of each lot. At the same time, we will actively develop relationships with international roasters, importers, distributors, specialty coffee companies, and other buyers looking for distinctive Costa Rican coffee. Our role is to connect these two sides of the market. Maximizing the sales potential of Costa Rican coffee Our mission goes beyond simply listing coffee for sale. We will dedicate our efforts to finding the right market for every coffee and creating opportunities for producers to reach buyers they may not otherwise have access to. This means: Bringing more Costa Rican coffee to international buyers. Increasing visibility for individual farms and producers. Promoting specialty and high-quality micro-lots. Creating better access to international markets. Building long-term relationships between producers and buyers. Using transparent product information to make coffee easier to evaluate and purchase. Exploring new commercial opportunities for Costa Rican coffee. We believe that the right coffee, presented to the right buyer, can create significantly more value. Building together with Costa Rican producers Factor T is not being created from outside the coffee industry looking in. We want to build the marketplace together with the people who produce Costa Rican coffee. Every farm, producer, and coffee lot has its own story, characteristics, and commercial potential. Our objective is to bring those qualities forward and give them a place in an international marketplace. The launch today is only the beginning. We will continue developing the platform, expanding our network of producers and buyers, and creating new tools that make it easier to discover, evaluate, and trade Costa Rican coffee. The beginning of the journey Today, Factor T opens its marketplace. Tomorrow, we begin the work of connecting more farms with more buyers, entering more international markets, and creating more opportunities for Costa Rican coffee. Costa Rican coffee has the quality. We want to help it reach the world. Welcome to the new era of Costa Rican coffee. Welcome to Factor T.
