We met Antonio Barrantes of Cafetalera Herbazu in Lourdes de Naranjo, Costa Rica. He showed us around his micro-mill, which he set up in the early 2000s, when the speciality coffee trend was just beginning and microlots did not yet exist. At the time, it was a huge financial risk for Antonio and his family to go into business for themselves. But they were right!
After a difficult harvest in 2022 and despite a drop in volume in 2023, Tonio's coffees are back in our range!
