About us
Dreams, Coffee, and Nature Unite for a Unique Experience
Montanoa is the dream of a child who once thought that picking coffee was a punishment, and still did it because it was the way to buy new school books, get educated and work for a promising future.
After graduating high school, past philosophical and management studies, decided to study what the farm had: coffee, in order to return and help his parents make a living out of the farm, something that was not happening up to the moment.
We are a meeting point where coffee consumers, producers and all those in between can interact, elevate their skills and knowledge, resulting in mutual growth for a better world and the discovery of the truth.
