This Costa Rican coffee exhibits a mild to medium body, a pleasant floral aroma, and a sweet smooth silky taste. A lively acidity gives this cup a bright sparkle—a medium “city” roast for a clean powerful cup.

Coffee from Hacienda la Amistad shines not only in the cup but in its commitment to the environment and community. Remarkably, 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 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 forested and teeming with wildlife. Roberto’s commitment to organic farming pairs harmoniously 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.
