Hacienda la Amistad, located in Coto Brus, a canton in the province of Puntarenas,

Costa Rica, is owned and operated by Roberto Montero, a third generation coffee

farmer. Roberto’s grandfather first came to the area in the early 1900’s as part of a team

surveying the border between Costa Rica and the newly formed country of Panama.

Roberto’s grandfather later purchased over 10,000 hectares of land and began to

cultivate coffee. Roberto’s family has returned more than 6,000 hectares of land to the

government of Costa Rica for the preservation of La Amistad International Park, the

largest natural reserve in Central America. Only 300 hectares of land are utilized for

coffee cultivation while the remainder of the 4,000 hectare estate is preserved forest

teeming with wildlife.

Roberto’s commitment to organic farming pairs harmoniously with his commitment to his

community. During the coffee harvest, Roberto provides housing and free access to

medical care for the seasonal pickers because most are indigenous people from

Panama who come to La Amistad with their entire families. 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 at

La Amistad. 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.

Roasting Notes: A shame to roast super dark, will mute up sweetness and all the

lighter tones but still tasty. Avoid cinnamon and light roasts, it will not be balanced and

taste pretty front loaded with acidity and floral. It shines in the city+ to full city range. If

you like a hint of acidity, a nice city or city+ roast (lighter side of medium) will be perfect,

if you like lower acidity and a little fuller bodied, shoot for right before 2nd crack. (strong

medium)
