Café Monteverde Natural

Tasting Notes: Pink Lemonade, Strawberry Jam, Almond
Roast:  Medium

It’s been several years since we’ve sourced a natural dry-processed coffee from the producers of Café Monteverde in Costa Rica, and this year’s lot was worth the wait. Bursting with tropical sweetness and jammy fruit notes, it impressed us from the very first cupping.

This coffee is selectively handpicked at peak ripeness, then dried as whole cherries (fruit and bean together) on raised beds under the sun. During this slow drying process, the coffee seeds absorb vibrant, fruity character from the pulp. Once fully dried, the cherries are milled to remove the outer layers and reveal the green coffee inside. The result is an exceptionally sweet, complex, and fruit-forward natural process coffee.

Since 1989, Montana Coffee Traders has purchased Monteverde coffee direct from farmers, always at a premium price independent 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.
