The growing region for La Pastora is the mountainous Tarrazú canyon in the San José province. Farmers who contribute to this coffee lot cultivate farms between 1,500 and 1,800 meters above sea level. This high altitude qualifies the blend as Strictly Hard Bean (SHB). The higher altitude and lower temperatures mean that the coffee fruit matures more slowly, creating a denser bean.
Tarrazú is probably the most famous coffee region in central Costa Rica. The nearby Pirris River provides water to the highland region, making it perfect for coffee production and other types of agriculture. The mountains are part of the Talamanca Sierra, which runs through Costa Rica and Panama.
