In 1966, the Monte Vista estate was established in the mountains of Santa Barbara. The company has been family owned for the entire duration of its existence. Situated in north-western Honduras, Santa Barbara is home to ideal coffee growing conditions. Beans from the Monte Vista estate are strictly high grown, and have very well developed taste profiles. Ripe coffee cherries are handpicked and small batch roasted, leading to a consistently high quality product. Beyond offering fantastic coffee, Monte Vista contributes to fresh drinking water and educational efforts for surrounding areas in need. Highly respectable roaster, highly respectable coffee!

Monte Vista's Santa Barbara coffee is sweet and balanced, but it also packs a punch! This medium-dark roast will give you that kick you need in the morning, while remaining smooth and tasty. An intoxicating floral aroma is the first thing you'll notice about this coffee. Next you'll enjoy the sweet notes of chocolate, caramel & fruit, which are complimented by a moderate citrus toned acidity. When all is said and done, you are left with a subtle sweet chocolate taste that lingers. This coffee is a great testament to the ongoing rise in popularity of Honduran specialty coffee.
