Keens Beans Brings Costa Rica Coffee to Pensacola

If you're from Pensacola and happen to own a coffee farm in Costa Rica, why not start roasting and selling coffee in your hometown?

That's how Keens Beans began. Rhonda Keen and Eric Yoder sold their first crop of beans to Spain, and now Keens Beans are available at several local stores, including at the Port City Market at Palafox and Main streets, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays.

"The crowning feature of our beans is that they are single-estate and are not mixed with other growers' beans, allowing us to control the quality," Keen said.

Keens Beans is available in 1-pound and 12-ounce bags in three roasts: American Medium, Full City and Vienna Dark.

"There's no decaf, because it takes chemicals to decaf coffee and that goes against our efforts," Keen said. "We suspended the use of all chemicals on the land and built a new environ-mentally conscious coffee processing and drying facility."
