UPDATE (18Oct 2026):

Dear coffee comrades: we are temporarily downshifting operations at Toltec Coffee, coffee roasting will only be on a VERY limited basis. We will no longer be "stocking" roasted coffee.   This is due to multiple factors, but primarily two :

1) Availability of premium Costa Rican coffee and at reasonable price. 

2) Costs of energy and shipping.  

Global cost for green coffee, roasting, and shipping has continued to increase over the past 6 years, and beyond our ability to price it for our customers at a modest price point. If/when we can get good pricing on >84 point coffee we will roast up again, but it will be small batches and sold as pre-order only. And, yes, prices will have to increase again. 

Please understand this downshift in production does not come easy, but economically necessary. If you want to pre-order please reach out via email, as the website availability will not be updated regularly. 

Thanks 

Started in 2011, as a joint venture between Niall Johnson and Jose Alvarado, Toltec Coffee’s mission was to direct source premium and specialty grade micro-lot coffee at origin in Costa Rica and Central America. Our vision was to fill the growing demand for premium coffee a step (or two) above grocery store commercial grade coffee, but not as costly as the high-end-of-the-spectrum specialty grade coffee. It took us a while to meet the demands, and tastes, of the US and CR coffee markets, but we now have a great niche and client base. All of our coffee is purchased at above world commodity rates and from small and medium finca (farms). Yes, our coffee is not the cheapest on the market, but it is all premium and specialty grade; and it is grown and brought to market through fair, ethical, and environmentally sustainable business practices.
