Farm History
Since 2004, Ricardo Pérez has been a pioneer of the micro mill revolution in Costa Rica. He focuses on quality and sustainable cultivation. Instead of bringing his coffee to large regional mills, he opened a small micro mill with a friend to experiment with processing methods and market his coffee independently.
2007 was a special year: Costa Rica hosted its first "Cup of Excellence." Ricardo eagerly awaited the competition, curious to see how his submitted coffee would fare. In the final round, he impressed the international jury. With over 91 points, his coffee received a gold medal and a special award for exceptional quality.
Today, Ricardo is one of our good friends and has already been honored with over a dozen awards for his outstanding coffee. We are delighted to present his exceptional coffee.
Enjoy!
