We are compelled to provide our customers a distinctive and healthy gastronomic experience, through creations that look upon the desires, wishes and needs of busy but informed consumers.

It Is a Vibrant Industry

“Recovery after the 2020 pandemic impact is expected to achieve growth rates higher than pre-pandemic.”

Increase in consumer confidence and level of economic recovery are basic growth variables. Consumer’s budgetary balances are projected to continuously justify the eat out enjoyment. “The food segment has increased its share of industry revenue, as coffee and snack shop owners have sought to promote the sale of higher-margin food products”. The Carmela business model strategically addresses a medium-high income consumer market that remains strong for the foreseeable years.

Despite the COVID impact, Carmela has demonstrated high level of resilience, being fully prepared to address current restrictions related to workforce availability and supply constrains. Also plans forward to consolidate a strong, dynamic and competitively remunerated payroll.

 

One of the industry’s fastest-growing segments are  independent coffee shops, which have targeted coffee connoisseurs with high-quality espresso siphoned and filtered coffee beverages.

The industry is expected to grow faster than the previous period at an annualized rate of 3.0% to $54.7 billion over the five years to 2025.

A continual and increased focus on the quality of beans, roasting techniques and refined preparations has fundamentally changed coffee culture.
 

The type of beans operators use has become a significant point of differentiation among smaller niche shops, with rare blends, fair-trade coffee and organic beans becoming more popular.

Carmela is solidly positioned with the supply of Premium Grade Costa Rican Coffee.

The number and form of iced coffee beverages have also grown as brewing and serving techniques have improved, giving rise to forms that do not compromise flavor, such as cold-brewed coffee.

As a Corporation we´ll work tirelessly to create an iconic brand of coffee.
