This coffee is from Granitos, owned by the Omar Calderón Family in the Dota Valley of Costa Rica's Tarrazú region. It is grown at 2,100 meters altitude in Santa María de Dota, processed at La Casona micro-mill. The F1 varietal offers floral and stone fruit sweetness with caramel notes and a smooth finish. The farm is operated by Don Omar Calderón while the wet and dry mills are managed by his four daughters.
Jonathan Meadows and Nathan Shelton founded Cultivar Coffee Roasting Co. in 2009 in Dallas, both having come up through the local specialty scene at White Rock Coffee and Pearl Cup Coffee. Meadows was the first Dallas barista to reach the national stage of the U.S. Barista Championship. The roastery and cafe have operated since 2011 inside Goodfriend Package at 1155 Peavy Road in East Dallas. Cultivar maintains long term direct trade relationships with farmers, many exceeding six years, and pays producers 40 to 60 percent above commodity market value. A mobile espresso cart catering service covers weddings, corporate events, and private functions throughout the Dallas Fort Worth area.
