Tío Juan Micromill was established in 2015 by Juan Rafael Montero Gamboa, aiming to enhance coffee quality from the family farm Monteroga - Casas de Abajo. Juan Rafael, dedicated to his land since the 1960s, he cultivates coffee harmoniously with nature, emphasising ecosystem balance. He uses sustainable practices, including regular soil analysis and homemade organic fertilisers, avoiding herbicides entirely.
This Catuai microlot undergoes Natural processing, with cherries carefully dried in sunlight for four weeks before meticulous sorting for export.

Region Description:
The Tarrazú region lies in the high mountains of the southern Pacific region south of Costa
Rica’s capital city of San Jose and is one of the most densely planted high altitude regions
in Central America, with many farms at or above 2000 meters above sea level. It is locally
known as “Zona de Los Santos” for the number of towns with “San” or “Santa” in their
names.
Tarrazú’s climate is characterized by two well-defined seasons; a rainy season lasting seven
months (May through November) and a dry season (December through April). This
encourages uniform coffee blossoming. On average, precipitation is between 2,400
millimeters (94.5 inches) per year, with an average annual temperature of 19°C (66.2°F).
