Finca Casa de Piedra
The samples received from Gerardo and Jennifer were of impeccable quality, so the team unanimously decided to showcase them in our lineup this year.
Finca Casa de Piedra is one of two farms operated by Cafe Directo, a family business founded in 2013 by Gerardo and Jennifer Arias, a father-daughter team. The farm is dedicated to the production, processing, and marketing of the finest Costa Rican Tarrazú coffees in harmony with the environment. The director’s vision is to contribute to 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 micro-lots, including naturals, yellow, red, and black honey, using anaerobic, semi-washed, and fully washed processes.
The unique conditions on the farm - in particular its microclimate and soil type, as well as elevations up to 1,800 masl - allow for a wide range of varieties to flourish, including catuai, pacamara and gesha.
