Last Visit: March 24th 2010
"I was fortunate enough to have spent 2 days and a night at Don Mayo in March. While there I toured the farm and mill extensively, cupped several lots of their coffee in the cupping lab located in the middle of the drying patio, hiked to the top of the highest mountain that overlooks the farm and San Marcos, and enjoyed the unrivaled hospitality of the Bonilla Solis family. Pablo, our host and the son of Hector Bonilla Cruz, took me through every step of their processing and storage. Everything the coffee touches throughout the process—from cherry to parchment—is impeccably clean and well-maintained. These guys take their coffee seriously and put a lot of love into what they do; it really shows in the cup they produce."
