Note: Official site barriletea.org was intermittently unresolvable on repeated checks, so the confirmed-live Facebook page is used as the primary url, with a 2024 elmundo.cr news article as source_url. Founder Jessica Varela's own neurodivergent status was not stated in available sources, so leadership is marked unknown rather than assumed.
