FARM INFORMATION: Finca Hacienda La Amistad
The coffee from Hacienda La Amistad shines in the cup and in its commitment to the environment and community. 97% of the land that Roberto Montero’s grandfather first purchased in the early 1900s has been dedicated to forest preservation, with 6,000 of the original 10,000 hectares given back to the government of Costa Rica for the for the preservation of La Amistad International Park, the largest natural reserve in Central America. With the 4,000 hectares that have remained in this third-generation coffee farmer’s possession, Montero has dedicated 300 hectares to organic coffee production and most of the rest is forest, teeming with wildlife.
Roberto’s commitment to organic farming pairs with his commitment to his community. La Amistad’s proximity to the border of Panama has attracted many indigenous people from that country who come to the farm during harvest season with their entire families. Roberto ensures their needs are met by providing housing and free access to medical care for the seasonal pickers. Roberto also takes pride in his ability to provide more than 100 full-time jobs to his neighbors from Las Mellizas, not only in coffee cultivation, but also in the dried fruit operation that he runs year-round. Roberto hosts an annual employee celebration to recognize all their hard work and he also distributes school supplies to their children each year before school starts. Year after year, coffee from this farm is exceptional.

Each producer has their own micro-mill where they harvest cherries, depulp, ferment, wash, and gently dry the parchment on raised beds. An export company called Mastercol provides crucial logistical support for things like warehousing and milling coffee for export to the international market, which provides better income for everyone to reinvest in their farms and strengthen their families’ livelihoods.

FARM INFORMATION: Several smallholder farms. This is a selection of several small farms that combine into a cup that really holds its flavor well after the decaffeination process. During the water process, the green coffee is pre-soaked in water to expand the beans for caffeine extraction. The hydrated green coffee is then introduced to a unique solution of concentrated coffee solubles that draw out the caffeine while minimizing the loss of flavor compounds.
Once the caffeine has been removed the green coffee is re-dried and re-bagged for transport, and the extract solution is filtered of its caffeine and recycled to be used again. Water process is the cleanest way to decaffeinate and is environmentally friendly. It’s great to see this process gain momentum and support in the coffee community!

FARM INFORMATION: Several smallholder farms.
Kenyan coffees are often organized and sold in very small volumes that correspond to one specific estate or washing station. While single-factory lots certainly dominate the highest quality tier, coffee exports as a whole in Kenya reflect the distribution of most producing countries elsewhere: as a wide triangle, with microlots at the top and bulk volumes of various transparency and quality standards comprising the larger, more efficient shipments.
This particular coffee is a blend from several small farms, allowing us to provide some truly fantastic Kenyan coffee for a similar price as many of our other offerings. Because of its typically pricier tag, we don’t have Kenya often- enjoy it while it’s here!
