Hacienda la Amistad, located in Coto Brus, a canton in the province of Puntarenas, Costa Rica, is owned and operated by Roberto Montero, a third generation coffee farmer. Roberto’s grandfather first came to the area in the early 1900's as part of a team surveying the border between Costa Rica and the newly formed country of Panama. Roberto’s grandfather later purchased over 10,000 hectares of land and began to cultivate coffee. Roberto’s family has returned more than 6,000 hectares of land to the government of Costa Rica for the preservation of La Amistad International Park, the largest natural reserve in Central America. Only 300 hectares of land are utilized for coffee cultivation while the remainder of the 4,000 hectare estate is preserved forest teeming with wildlife, protecting critical habitat for over 400 bird species, including the Resplendent Quetzal. Roberto’s commitment to organic farming pairs harmoniously with his commitment to his community. During the coffee harvest, Roberto provides housing and free access to medical care for the seasonal pickers because most are indigenous people from Panama who come to La Amistad with their entire families. Roberto also takes pride in his ability to provide more than 100 full-time jobs to his neighbors from Las Mellizas, not only in coffee cultivation, but also in the dried fruit operation that he runs year round at La Amistad. Roberto hosts an annual employee celebration to recognize all their hard work and he also distributes school supplies to their children each year before school starts.
Hacienda La Amistad is a renowned organic, shade-grown coffee estate. It is recognized for becoming the first in Costa Rica to achieve the stringent Smithsonian Bird Friendly certification.
Certifications: Certified organic (USDA) and officially Smithsonian Bird Friendly.

About Our Coffee
Yes — all of our coffees are free from mold and meet strict quality standards. Mold and ochratoxin A (OTA) can develop in poorly processed or stored coffees, but we take every step to prevent that from happening. Before purchasing any coffee, we evaluate water activity and moisture content to ensure it’s within safe and stable parameters. Once it arrives at our warehouse, we monitor relative humidity and storage conditions carefully to maintain the integrity of each lot.
From sourcing to roasting, our focus is on quality and freshness — so you can enjoy every cup with confidence.
From dedicated farmers across the world’s most expressive regions — each coffee reflects its origin, soil, and the people behind it.
We partner with producers who share our values: respect for their land, transparency, and craft. Every coffee has a story, not just a score.
Some are certified organic, although we are not an organic certified roastery. However, all our coffees are sustainably grown. We prioritize farms that care for soil health and community impact.
Yes — always. We roast in small batches so your coffee arrives fresh and vibrant every time.
Brewing & Storage
Keep it sealed, cool, and dry — away from heat, moisture, and light. An airtight container keeps freshness alive.
Enjoy within 4–6 weeks of roasting for peak flavor. After that, it’s still great, just a little softer on aroma.
Fine for espresso, medium for drip or pour-over, coarse for French press or cold brew. The right grind brings balance and sweetness.
Absolutely — our coffees are crafted to shine in any brew method.
Ordering & Shipping
Usually within 1–2 business days after roasting. You’ll get tracking once it’s shipped.
Yes! Subscribe for regular deliveries of your favorite coffee — freshly roasted and hassle-free.
Because coffee is a perishable product, we can’t accept returns once bags are opened. But if something isn’t right, please reach out — we’ll make it right.

About Our Tea
We offer a curated selection of loose-leaf and bagged teas — from classic black and green teas to herbal and botanical blends. Each one is chosen for balance, clarity, and character.
All true teas come from the same plant — Camellia sinensis. The difference lies in how the leaves are processed:
Black tea is fully oxidized for a rich, bold flavor.
Green tea is lightly processed to keep its fresh, grassy notes.
Herbal tea (technically a “tisane”) is made from herbs, flowers, or fruits — naturally caffeine-free.
Yes, most black and green teas naturally contain caffeine. Herbal blends/Botanicals are caffeine-free.
Use fresh, hot water and steep according to the tea type:
- Black tea: 3–5 min at ~95 °C
- Green tea: 2–3 min at ~80 °C
- Herbal tea: 5–7 min at ~100 °C
- Adjust to taste — shorter steeps for lighter cups, longer for more strength.
Keep tea in a cool, dry place, away from light, air, and strong odors. Airtight containers preserve freshness and aroma longer.
Properly stored tea can last a long time. Green teas are best enjoyed within a year, while black and herbal teas can stay vibrant for up to two years.
Absolutely. Our teas brew beautifully over ice or as cold infusions. Just double the leaf amount or steep longer to keep flavor balanced.
