José Antonio Barrantes Zuñiga (Toño), along with his siblings, established Herbazú during the micro-mill revolution in Costa Rica in the early 2000s. The impact the Barrantes family has had on coffee growing and processing in Costa Rica is immeasurable and this extends to other coffee growing regions around the world. The farm and micro-mill at Herbazú are model examples, both in terms of processing and procedure but also in terms of innovation and research. Over the last few years, a gentle handover to the next generation has begun. Toño’s nephew, César López Barrantes, has been taking on more of the day to day running of the farms. César is a recognised farmer in his own right, placing in multiple Costa Rica Cup of Excellence competitions. Toño’s daughters, Natalia and Heizel, have respectively opened a coffee shop and tour operation of the farm. The coffee shop is a family enterprise with Toño often found brewing coffee for customers. The tours offer tourists a guided walk around the farm and mill, followed by either breakfast or lunch and a coffee tasting. These are intimate events, with only two to four people at a time and offer terrific access to a working farm. On the farm, the Barrantes family continue to trial new varietals in their nursery. One of their latest is Wush Wush, an Ethiopian cultivar which shows some promising results in the demanding micro-climate of Lourdes de Naranjo. The new regulatory requirements for agricultural products entering the EU has also been an interesting project. It has required audits across all of the farms in the Herbazú group by the Ministry of Agriculture.

Grind Guide

Cafetière

A coarse grind also suitable for cold brew. We use the word cafetière, but this can also be referred to as a French press, plunger or press pot.

Aeropress slow

Suitable for making a long, filter style coffee, often brewed for a few minutes. Similar to our paper filter setting.

Filter

This is suitable for our paper filters and ceramic or plastic cones, along with other brands such as V60, Clever dripper and Melitta.

Stovetop

This is an espresso style grind suitable for use in hob top espresso pots such as a Bialetti or Grunwerg. Sometimes referred to as a moka pot.

Aeropress fast

This is also an espresso style grind ideal for brewing a short, concentrated, espresso style coffee in an Aeropress.

Domestic espresso

A fine grind for using in your home espresso machine. Grind requirements will vary depending on brand and model, but this setting aims to work for the majority of home setups.

Whole beans

For use in your home grinder!

If you use a different method such as a syphon or Chemex, require a custom grind or need some advice, please get in touch and we will be happy to help.
