The Story
The Gamboa family of Montes de Oro rank among our longest-standing Direct Trade partners. Within this operation there’s both deep legacy and innovation—coffee farming in the Gamboa family that dates back to the 1800s. In the early 2000s, the Gamboas were among the first in Tarrazú to install their own micro-mill on the farm.
This was part of a "micro-mill revolution" that would transform specialty coffee in Costa Rica, giving rise to a wave of producers who invested in their own post-harvest processing equipment to add value and traceability to the end product. We became Montes de Oro's first customer 2006, and we've cherished our relationship ever since.
