With the 2009-2010 coffee harvest well on it's way, Monte Azul, along with our neighbors, begins a long and complex process of hand-picking, sorting, drying and a multi-step procedure prior to roasting. Our own brand, which we call 'Quick Monkey', is of the Altura Veranero variety, a high quality mountain grown coffee known for rich flavors and moderate yields.
As a shade grown variety, our coffee farm is designed to prevent erosion and loss of valuable topsoil. By planting nitrogen fixing trees such as Poró and combining them with native and fruit trees, the coffee plantation at Monte Azul actually provides habitat for native species of orchids and other plants, mammals, birds, reptiles and wildlife.
Savor our delicious, rich, dark roasted coffee named after one of our favorite inhabitants of the forest, and inspired by one of our talented fine artist's, Henry Jackson's, monotypes.
