JIM's notes...

Single Origin Notes

Located in the Southwest corner of Costa Rica, Robert Montero's farm is located within a 40,000+ acre tract of unspoiled rainforest. The Pacific breezes and cloud cover give the coffee a dense hard bean. A model organic farmer, Roberto's farm is completely off the grid. He grows his own fruits and veggies, uses hydro-electric for power, and manages the coffee farm as a way to keep the surrounding rainforest untouched. He is also fully self-sufficient in his drying and milling -- so much so that he provides support for the nearby smaller farms by bringing their coffee to market and ensuring they get a good price.

Jim was the first roaster to buy this coffee, back in 1993. The farm is truly beautiful!
