Our holiday coffee comes from our friends, the Montero family in Tarrazu, Costa Rica. This coffee, of the Catuai type, was one of the very first we bought when we started Morgon and have worked with them every harvest since. The coffee is honey processed, creamy and buttery, with notes of chocolate Santas and plum. The Montero's have been producing coffee for three generations. Grandpa Eli was the first, followed by his son Carlos and his grandson Jacob.
In Tarrazu, Carlos and his family are all about community. A lot of the neighbouring producers see them as visionaries and leaders of the Tarrazu specialty coffee movement and look to them for inspiration and advice, which Carlos is always happy to give. We’ve even had the pleasure of hosting Carlos, Jacob and Marianela Montero when they visited us in Gothenburg. This gave us the privilege to repay some of his family’s hospitality as well as spend some time together as well as show them our part of the coffee chain.
