Anfiteatro Natural comes from the incredible Montero family and their farm Don Eli. The father, Carlos Montero is a skilled teacher and sustainability advocate. Carlos’ son Jacob and daughter Marianella (with husband Perry) now have created a shining example of sustainability and ethical responsibility in the coffee production industry. We could not be prouder to feature their work. Carlos Montero has been an advocate for sustainability in his coffee producing community for many years. He began this work by purchasing fallow coffee farms – farms that were abandoned – and allowing the land’s natural habitat to return. After some experimentation with planting coffee within the forest, Carlos discovered the coffees were healthier and tastier than more traditionally grown plants. These efforts led to economic and social improvements for his community and the men and women who harvest his coffee. This coffee comes from the Tarrazu region of Costa Rica, a small mountainous region in the San Jose province of Costa Rica. It has a long history of producing Costa Rica’s highest quality coffees and is rich in the tradition of coffee growing. Recently, Tarrazu has become known for its experimentation in coffee processing.
