Our Mission:

 

To live a life of
Commitment Connection and Compassion (C3)
and inspire others to do the same! The best attitude is Gratitude!

WITH EVERY CUP OF ANITA MARIE COFFEE YOU WILL TASTE AND EXPERIENCE OUR DEVOTION TO C3.

OUR COFFEE: 100% ARABICA, HAND-SELECTED AND MICRO ROASTED.

 

Commitment

Commit to pouring love, gratitude, passion, and presence into ALL that you do! Give 100% of your effort and attention to what's in front of you right now. Time is our most valuable commodity and once it is gone, it can never be recouped. Squeeze the most out of every moment! We're all given a certain amount of time on Earth, how will you use yours? We believe that the best attitude is gratitude!

Connection

We all need it even when we don't think we do. While happiness is fleeting, joy can endure when we focus our attention on connecting with family, friends, nature, and a higher power. Take time every day to connect. Enjoy nature, be present, travel, push your edge and pray!

Compassion

Give back by serving others. We're all broken in some way, so be compassionate to the differences and needs of others. Offer grace, empathy, forgiveness, and love. Serving others with our time, resources and complete presence takes us outside of ourselves and creates a wave of love that penetrates through us and those we serve. It's amazing how small acts of love, stacked on each other, can move mountains!

 

 

 

Our Inspiration

Anita Marie gourmet coffee was inspired by my mother, Anita, who defines love, generosity and gratitude and has a true passion for coffee. My hope is to honor Anita and the wonderful linage of woman, who helped shape her and to return their gifts to the world.

Anita Marie Natural

Anita grew up in a small suburb of Heredia Costa Rica, Santa Lucia, a humble town in central Costa Rica where enjoying a cup of coffee with family and friends is a way of life. Anita's love for coffee and gratitude for life stated at a young age. Her mother, aunt and grandmother were all loved in their community and were embraced as the defacto mothers to all.

Anita attended elementary school in a 100+ year old adobe dwelling, which was once the home of the President of Costa Rica. He lovingly donated his home to the community of Santa Lucia, which was in need of a place to educate the local children. This special location had an everlasting influence on Anita's love for coffee. The school was perched on a hillside surrounded by a coffee plantation. After school, Anita worked in the coffee field and learned the art of selecting the finest beans "grano de oro" and the old age techniques of extracting the coffee beans from the fruit, roasting and brewing. The school is now a cultural museum representing the "Tico" way of life.

At Anita Marie we hand select our 100% Arabica Beans, roast, and package our coffee with the same love for life as my mother. We’re confident that you will taste this love with every sip of Anita Marie coffee. Anita always gives from her heart so with every purchase of Anita Marie gourmet coffee 1.5% percent will be given back to helping those in need.
