Farm History
Ambition is an apt description for the Don Mayo Micro Mill. The Bonilla family operates multiple plantations and processes their coffee on-site at Don Mayo—with outstanding success. For over a decade, they have consistently placed several coffee lots in the Cup of Excellence auctions. This hard work has paid off: they’ve achieved first place in the Cup of Excellence in Costa Rica twice, a truly rare accomplishment.
Despite their success, Hector and Luis Pablo show no signs of resting on their laurels. They continue to invest in processing and cultivation to ensure Don Mayo produces the finest coffees in the country.
We firmly believe they will succeed and are thrilled to collaborate with Don Mayo.
About Zimt Bonbon
For our "Zimt Bonbon" (German for “Cinnamon Candy”), we’re collaborating this year with Don Mayo. In the mountainous region of Tarrazú, this coffee is grown and processed directly on the slopes of this stunning landscape. Hector and Luis Pablo are not content with the status quo, constantly experimenting with different varieties and processing methods.
"Zimt Bonbon" was co-fermented with cinnamon sticks—a unique approach for specialty coffee. The natural sweetness from the fermentation is beautifully complemented by the warm cinnamon aroma. Perfect for cozying up in the colder months.
While supplies last, we’re offering "Zimt Bonbon" in an elegant jar. Perfect as a gift or for your own enjoyment.
Note: Zimt Bonbon is not part of the Re-Glas® Project.
