About Roberto and Daniel Carranza of Costa Rica
Coffee plants love volcanic soil, so the trees at Finca Colorado are extra happy, growing as they do at the base of not one but two volcanoes, Poás and Barva. At Colorado, owners Roberto and Daniel Carranza are third generation coffee farmers.
The Carranzas use the black honey method to process their coffees, allowing the pulp of the coffee cherries (honey) to remain during drying. Along with their goal to produce excellent coffee, Roberto and Daniel are passionate about their people and environment. For example, they use 100% renewable energy to power the mill and provide electricity for local workers.
