Farm History
We share a long-standing friendship with Antonio Barrantes. Our paths first crossed at the inaugural Cup of Excellence in Costa Rica back in 2007. Ever since, he has been a dedicated participant, securing a spot in the Cup of Excellence annually for his coffee – notably clinching first place in 2015.
Antonio, with his passion and pioneering spirit, clearly embodies what specialty coffee is all about. In the late 90s, he and his family established one of the country's first micro-mills – Herbazu. Now, with over two decades of experience in coffee processing, their expertise is unmistakably evident.
