Finca La Esperanza

About This Coffee

This Costa Rican coffee comes from Finca La Esperanza in Calle Liles, San Juan de Poas, located near the Poas Volcano. The farm is owned by Oscar Chacón Cubillo, who renovated the semi-abandoned property with help from his parents of Finca Las Lajas. The coffee is processed using the natural method. The farm features Híbrido Centroamericano variety, along with other varietals including Catigua, Hibrido 1, San Isidro, and T5246, chosen for their tolerance to the humid conditions caused by the farm's altitude and shade cover. The farm also maintains protected forest around a natural spring.

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.
