Cafe Monte Alto
Plymouth, New Hampshire

In 1928 three young brothers, Emil, Herbert and Hans Mick left their native Germany and headed for South America. Looking for new opportunities, they settled in Cedropampa (near the town of Villa Rica, Peru), and started a coffee plantation in 1936. Additional families joined them in their venture. Today this premium shade plantation has captured the coveted Specialty Coffee Association of America “Gold Bean” award, and Micky Giunta, Dieter and Ingo Noche (second and third generation of the Mick Family) continue their coffee family’s tradition. Cafe Monte Alto was established in 1997 when Eddie and Micky Giunta began importing premium green coffee beans from family-owned farms in Puerto Rico and Peru to the USA. These beans are all of the Arabica Family. They are picked, processed immediately, and dried over a long period of time. The coffee is stored in pergamino and husked only days prior to shipment.

Satisfying and smooth if slightly non-descript medium roast. Chocolate with a nice mouthfeel. Lowish complexity but clean and hits the spot.Cupping Method:At Tilt'n Diner after a long, cold, wet hike
