Tarrazú, Costa Rica

La Esperanza Familia Monge

Rodolfo Monge, with decades of experience in coffee farming, has been at the forefront of this tradition. His farm, La Esperanza Familia Monge, is now a hub of innovation thanks to the efforts of his son, Gustavo Monge. Gustavo's interest in creating traceability for their coffee led to the establishment of their micro-mill four years ago. Together, Rodolfo and Gustavo meticulously manage every step of the process, from cherry selection to drying, ensuring the highest quality.

Natural Processing: Sustainability and Flavor

The Monge family employs a natural processing method that involves drying the coffee cherries with the fruit intact. This technique enhances the coffee’s natural sweetness, reduces environmental impact by eliminating the need for water-intensive washing, and results in a cup that bursts with vibrant flavors. The meticulous care in processing shines through in every sip, offering a coffee that is both environmentally friendly and rich in flavor.
