About The Coffee:From the famed Tarrazu Region of central Costa Rica comes a high altitude natural coffee grown by Mauricio Vargas Vindas and his family.
Divino Nino or Divine Child is named for the family's son who was very ill when he was born but with "God's gratitude" recovered and is now an integral part of the family business. That child, also named Mauricio, is today 21 years old and a certified barista, continuing the family's traditional attachment to coffee.
Vargas, who is a 4th generation coffee farmer, helped to form Micro-Mill Altos del Abejonal where the coffee is brought to be hulled. In 2009 Mauricio senior founded the Micro-Mill Altos del Abejonal, an environmentally correct micro mill where he processes his own.
