Finca Cerro Paldo has a beautiful depth with the aroma of brown sugar and chocolate. In the cup, it is sweet, with notes of buttery caramel and milk chocolate. Its finish is clean and mellow.
Finca Cerro Paldo is located just 45 minutes south of San Jose in the popular coffee growing region of Tarrazu. The farm is located at 5,570 ft. (1700m) above sea level, an altitude at which the sun's rays boost the bean's density and make this an incredibly sweet coffee. Juan Rafael Monge, a second generation coffee farmer, owns Finca Cerro Paldo. His father Adam Monge Castro bought 2 hectares of land more than 60 years ago and began their legacy of producing great coffee.
  
Currently 10 people live on the farm and are devoted to producing some of the finest coffee in Costa Rica. We are proud to partner with Finca Cerro Paldo to bring you this wonderful coffee. It is a great example of Costa Rican coffee garnering a reputation for producing something exceptional.
