Farm
Don Miro, Tarrazú (San Marcos)
Roilyn Monge is the fourth generation of his family harvesting coffee in Tarrazú. After leaving town to embark on a different career, Roilyn returned to the field to do what he loves and has been doing since he was 6 years old.
He is satisfied when he knows that there is a person in another part of the world enjoying his hard and beloved production and to welcome visitors at the farm and show them his lifestyle and the science behind harvesting.
The sweet caramel is his favorite and he describes it as “it is very sweet and has an exquisite aroma, with notes of chocolate and caramel, very intense for the daily coffee that I need and I drink it 4 times a day”.

Honey Process
Honey Process
A great cup begins with a seed. After two years of growing on the coffee tree, the ripe cherries are handpicked.
The cherries are depulped and some fruit mucilage is left on the bean before drying, a technique that originated in Costa Rica when water access was limited. Yellow Honey removes about 75%, giving a lighter, brighter cup; Red Honey leaves around 50%, adding richer sweetness; and Black Honey keeps most, resulting in a deep, caramel-forward profile.
The beans are dried on raised beds, often shaded to ensure slow, even drying, then rested, milled and shipped.
Small-batch Roasting
We roast in small batches to bring out better flavor and ensure your coffee arrives fresh.
Smaller batches allow us to fine-tune the roast curve, adjusting heat and timing with precision so each bean develops its natural sweetness and aroma.
Eco-friendly Packaging
Our coffee now comes in fully compostable bags (just remove the non-compostable stickers).
Compostable in industrial facilities, breaking down into natural, non-toxic components.
Even in the environment, they decompose much faster than conventional plastic.
Small deliveries arrive in plantable seed-paper bags and bigger deliveries arrive in recyclable kraft boxes.
