Finca Monte Canet (Espresso), Don Mayo Estate Microlot

Juicy flavors like honey, cantaloupe, and red grape.
 
Our two new Costa Rican offerings come from two farms (Finca el Llano and Monte Canet) that are part of the lager Don Mayo Beneficio. High grown at 1650 – 1950 meters above sea level, these coffees truly express the terrior of the area. The Caturra, Typica and Bourbon varietals grown on the farms are part a movement happening through the combined efforts of the Don Mayo Estate.
 
Through research of varietals and studying the land, this estate has been able to dramatically improve their coffee. Further improving the cup quality they have also made huge improvements to their milling and drying process (their mill incorporates environmental practices including reusing processing water and treating chaff for use as an organic fertilizer). They are the current Cup of Excellence champion in Costa Rica.
