Costa Rican Hacienda La Amistad Coffee
Flavor Notes:
Silky texture in a bright even cup. Sunshiny.
Roberto Montero of La Amistad is a model organic farmer. Located in the Southwest corner of Costa Rica, his plot is located within a 40,000 plus acre tract of unspoiled rainforest. The Pacific breezes and cloud cover give the coffee a dense hard bean. His 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's notes...
I have been buying this coffee since it first came to market in 1993. In fact, the very first container would not have been shipped if it had not been for mine and a friendly competitors buying commitment.

This is hands down the best coffee I’ve ever had. If you like the taste of coffee (and not the taste of charcoal) give this one a try.

My husband and I visited a Costa Rican coffee plantation & were sorry later that we hadn’t brought more of their product home. Then we discovered Jim’s Organic! It is just as wonderful as the fantastic coffee we bought in Costa Rica! Thank you, Jim, for your commitment in providing us with the best organic coffee ever!

Tried this coffee for our Saeco semiautomatic when our regular Lavazza ran out. What a surprise! A very bright flavor and, most important, not over-roasted like so many domestic brands. We love Costa Rican coffee when we are in our favorite getaway at Nosara, and this brought back fond memories.

I was born and raised in New Orleans, LA and I’m sure most people know New Orleans is known for their Coffee and we drank the CDM Coffee and Chicory brand. After leaving New Orleans and LA, I experimented with many kinds and brands of other coffee’s for many years. I am now sold out on Jim’s Costa Rican Hacienda La Amistad Coffee and no turning back! Hats off to you Jim!!! Thank You and Blessings!!!

Fantastic!!!! This has a smooth taste and no bitter after taste. I buy it for my Cowboy friend who drinks coffee daily as he works cattle and takes the most beautiful photos! He loves this coffee! Thank you for a great cup of coffee! Blessings~ Sherrie

I visited Finca La Amistad for 4 nights in 2011. It’s a truly exceptional operation. We saw how the coffee is grown and processed, and traveled around the greater property birding. I love supporting them! The coffee is fantastic, and the work they do there fully supports healthy biodiversity, and give community support in many ways. Nothing like seeing an operation for yourself to be convinced!
