＜Story＞
Tarrazu is Costa Rica's most famous coffee producing region. The Solis family, who have a mill in the San Marcos district, which is the center of the region, are known for producing high quality coffee.
Coffee production began in the generation of his great-grandfather Don Ismael Solis, and his son Don Oscar, father of the current producer, founded Micro Mill in 2013. With an eye on the future of coffee production, he founded Micro Mill with a strong desire to enrich the lives of his own family and the people who work on the farms.
Since Don Oscar passed away in 2017, his sons Alejandro (older brother) and Horacio (younger brother) have carefully inherited their father's will and run the Don Oscar Mill, named after him. Just like Don Oscar, who was passionate about coffee production and had a strong sense of responsibility, they work diligently on the farm every day, working to improve the quality of the coffee.
El Coyote Farm is a farmland that was newly purchased in 2016 using funds that were steadily saved up each year since the establishment of the mill in 2013. At an altitude of 2,050m, it is the highest of the 15 farms (farmland plots) owned by Don Oscar. The farm was named after the coyotes (wolves) that live there, and is a pet farm that Don Oscar has invested his know-how and knowledge into, conducting trial cultivation of rare varieties such as Villalobos, Geisha, Ethiopia 47, Typica, and Pacamala. As the area is very sunny, coffee cherries are grown slowly under shade trees, mainly bananas, to ripen.
In addition, the harvest at El Coyote Farm is handled by experienced pickers with over 10 years of harvesting experience at Don Oscar, and only perfectly ripe cherries are picked by veterans who understand quality and attitude.
