Fellow's Take on Mama Cherri by Creature | Brew Guide

A bright, vibrant Costa Rican light roast from Creature Coffee, grown by women producers in the Coto Brus region. Expect notes of cherry pie and caramel corn in a lively, juicy cup.

Mama Cherri comes from Doña Isa, a program run by Creature’s longtime sourcing partner Hacienda La Minita that supports women coffee producers in Costa Rica.

Built through a partnership with 11 women growers in Coto Brus, Doña Isa pays an added premium directly to each producer while supporting sustainable farming, mentorship, and their local communities.

This coffee is bright, juicy, and just plain fun to drink. Ripe cherry and crisp green apple bring a vibrant acidity, while a caramel corn finish adds sweetness to round out the cup.
