How Recreo brings beans from Nicaragua and brews coffee with a purpose
Miriam Morales, a native of Nicaragua and a Northeastern graduate in industrial engineering, started Recreo, a West Roxbury, Mass., coffee shop using beans from her family’s farm in Nicaragua, creating a genuine farm to cup experience. She donates profits to support schools and other services in her native country, all while maintaining environmentally sustainable agriculture and business practices. “We know that our coffee is good, but it has a purpose,” she says.
