Montes de Cristo

About This Coffee

This single-origin coffee comes from the Montes de Cristo farm in San Juan de Naranjo, West Valley, Costa Rica. The farm is owned and operated by Doña Carmen Campos Arce, who has been farming this land for over a decade. The farm is less than three hectares in size with a very small crop that is picked, processed, and sun-dried by hand. The coffee is honey processed and features the Caturra variety. Montes de Cristo is one of the most diversified farms, with every inch utilized for growing various plants including orchids, succulents, and stone fruit.

Monmouth Coffee Company

Monmouth Coffee Company was founded in 1978 by Nick Saunders and Anita Le Roy on Monmouth Street in Covent Garden. It is widely regarded as a pioneer of third wave coffee in London. The roastery operates from five railway arches in Bermondsey, using energy efficient Loring roasters. Monmouth sources from single farms, estates, and cooperatives through long term contracts, with staff travelling regularly to origin. They have been buying directly in Huila, Colombia, since 2012. The company played a part in regenerating both Neal's Yard and Borough Market, and many of London's independent roasters trace their roots back to Monmouth's training. There are no paper cups: ceramic for staying in, reusable for taking away.
