Lorena Jiménez Gesha
The Roble Negro micromill is well-known for its high quality standards and thoughtful
sustainability practices. Operations at the mill aim to reduce the use of nonrenewable
resources like water and electricity, repurpose waste products into natural fertilizers, and even ensures that the GrainPro used for packing and shipping coffee is reused or recycled by the mill’s global partners.
Producer Ana Lorena Jiménez Castro operates Finca El Zapote and Finca El Cristóbal
in Tarbaca, Aserrí, in the Tarrazú region of Costa Rica. Lorena purchased Finca El Zapote in 2019, initially working alone and planting Red Catuai and Caturra plants. She quickly expanded production, adding Yellow Catuai and Gesha varieties with the help of her son, Christopher. After working together through the 2020 season, the two would go on to acquire Finca El Cristóbal.
As a producer, Lorena aspires to be recognized for the high quality of her specialty coffee. To achieve this, she works as sustainably as possible using no herbicides and only calcium sulfate as a natural fungicide for her plants. Currently, Lorena processes all of her coffee at the Roble Negro micromill.

Coffee producer Daniel Monge operates Finca Las Palomas in Tarbaca, Aserrí, Costa Rica as the third generation of coffee workers in his family. Daniel's father, Jorge Monge, purchased Finca Las Palomas in the early-1990s and ever since then the Monge García family has worked to produce a range of coffee varieties on the property. Initially, the family planted Red and Yellow Catuai, but through the years they've expanded production to include Gesha and Villa Sarchi varieties as well.
As a producer, Daniel's main goal is to carry on the family tradition and to continue improving his production each year. Currently, Daniel processes all of his coffee at the Roble Negro micromill.
