Café Monteverde Miel

Tasting Notes:  Brown Sugar, Honeysuckle, Pie Cherry
Roast:  Medium

Grown in the cloud forest of Monteverde, Costa Rica, this coffee thrives in cool temperatures beneath the natural canopy of shade trees. The diverse climate allows the coffee to ripen slowly, developing flavors that exhibit and represent quality. After the coffee is selectively handpicked, it is then “honey” processed at the Santa Elena Beneficio.

The honey process is a method in which the outer skin of the cherry is removed, and the coffee is dried in a sticky honeylike layer, known as mucilage. As the beans dry, the varied amounts of mucilage surrounding the bean ultimately influence the sweetness and fruity undertones of the coffee.

Since 1989, Montana Coffee Traders has purchased Monteverde coffee direct from farmers, always at a premium price regardless of the market, as part of our commitment to the long-term success of the farm. This coffee directly supports the community in Monteverde, enabling them to invest in social programs, environmental initiatives, and local projects.
