CAFÉ KAHAWA

SAVEGRE, SAN GERARDO DE DOTA, COSTA RICA

Kahawa is located in Savegre, San Gerardo de Dota, near Cerro de la Muerte, one of the Costa Rica’s highest peaks. The drive takes approximately 2 hours from San José heading southeast in the Pan-American highway. As one drives up, marvelous views appears before your eyes, carrot & potato plantations, the country side, and on a clear day, general overviews of the Cartago Province and Valley.

Admidst dazzling flowers, showing amazing shades of colors and where centennial oak trees show their impressive roots sits Kahawa, at an altitude of 7000 ft above sea level, surrounded by the unspoiled ecology of the area. The song of the Resplendet Quetzal, in it’s magical fly, is a sample of the exuberant biodiversity that lives in the area. A collage of green trees and mountains. A peaceful setting enhanced by the sounds of the river in its endless travel through the rocks, lets you fell nature and see it come alive, in a place where the mist of the scenery sets the mood for those searching to get away from it all.

hydroponic garden

Sowing vegetables in our hydroponic farm, allows us to offer you, our visitor, the freshest vegetables that have required a minimum amount of fertilizers to grow, bringing to your tables vegetables that have just been cut and have no kinds of pesticides. Hydroponic farms, are an alternative to agriculture in big scale and lands, because in a small portion of area, you can grow larger amounts of vegetables. This allows us to continue protecting our lands and forests.


RAINBOW TROUT

Introduced in San Gerardo de Dota circa 1958, rainbow trout requires colder waters to reproduce, so they find the perfect atmosphere offered by the Savegre River to reproduce. At Kahawa, trout is the main star in our menu. We offer a variety of dishes that include trout, from appetizers like trout pate, to delicious main dishes. We even smoke trout in place for the dishes that we offer.  


UCHUVAS (GOLDEN BERRY)

A delicate flower protects the fruit of the golden berry, a fruit tree of great beauty. Known as the “fruit of love” it is rich in Vitamin A,B and C, besides containing potassium, iron, phosphorus and zinc; and it is also attributed with anti carcinogenic properties and anti oxidants as well. Originally from Peru, it is cultivated in Costa Rica only in highlands, such as San Gerardo de Dota. We use it in juices, fruit plates, desserts and others.


PEACHES

Being at more than 7,000 feet above sea level, the area of San Gerardo de Dota cultivates peaches of excellent quality and flavor. We prepare refreshing peach juice, and preserved fruit.  


CHILEAN PAPAYA

As indicated by its name, this papaya comes originally from the Andean areas of Chile. It is reproduced in heights between 4000 – 9845 meters above sea leavel, so it adapts perfectly to the climate and height of San Gerardo de Dota. It is a smaller version of the regular papaya, as its size is between 6-15 centimeters in length and its fruit is yellow. We prepare delicious preserved fruit with its syrup.


BLACK BERRIES  

There is a long tradition of blackberries being offered in the Costa Rican menu, mainly because of the delicious juice that can be prepared from the fruit. In Costa Rica, blackberries grow very well in all the area of Los Santos (from which San Gerardo is a part). It is common to observe blackberry bushes in our area that offer a good amount of this fresh fruit. The fruit is known as a great anti oxidant, rich in vitamin C and widely known for its low calorie count.
