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.
