At Finca Pensamiento, fourth-generation producer Dina Monterroso carries forward her family's coffee legacy with remarkable dedication and skill. As one of the few women members of Cooperativa El Cerrito, Dina has established herself as a leader not just through the volume of coffee she delivers—being one of the cooperative's largest producers—but through her unwavering commitment to quality.
The natural processing method used for this coffee involves carefully selecting ripe cherries and drying them whole, allowing the fruit sugars to impart their distinctive flavors to the beans inside. This method requires precise attention to detail and careful monitoring during the drying phase, skills Dina has mastered. The farm's 1650 meter elevation provides ideal growing conditions, with temperature variations that slow cherry development and enhance the complex flavor characteristics evident in every cup.
