Farm notes
Finca Idealista, the flagship farm of Gold Mountain Coffee Growers, is a prime example of how to change the world through coffee. This is our first year buying from them. Idealista uses machetes instead of herbicides, a mushroom to kill insects instead of pesticides, volcanic filters to keep mucilage-filled wash-water out of the watershed, and chickens roost above the farm's compost to infuse it with nitrogen. Pickers are paid double local rates. Finca Idealista also bought a rainforest in order to protect it. This Pacas variety lot is the first variety the farm ever grew and is a natural mutation of Bourbon.
