Producer: Gerardo & Jennifer Airas 

Finca Monte Alto is one of two farms operated by Cafe Directo, a family business founded in 2013 by Father and daughter team, Gerardo and Jennifer Arias. The farm is dedicated to the production, processing, and marketing of the finest Costa Rican Tarrazú coffees in harmony with the environment. Directo’s vision is to contribute with the development of our society through fair and ethical trade. 

Its founders have over thirty years of experience in the production and processing of specialty microlots qualities including naturals, yellow, red, and black honey, anaerobic, semi-washed and fully washed processes. 

Monte Alto (literally, "high mountain") has, perhaps unsurprisingly, the higher altitude of the two farms with elevations up to 2,000masl, lending itself well to the production of highly complex arabica.
