About: Founded in 2015 by Aliss Hartmann, Finca Momoto is a new branch on the storied Hartmann family tree. Aliss and her four siblings grew up at Finca Hartmann, playing among the coffee trees and climbing on bags of stored parchment at the mill. As adults, the Hartmann children each took on roles at Finca Hartmann, with Aliss managing the administrative side of the business.
As her own children, Giuliana and Giuseppe, grew up, she wanted them to experience a childhood similar to hers. She purchased Finca Momoto to teach them the value of the land, instill respect for nature, and share with them the same love and passion for coffee that her parents had shared with her.
Aliss applies an environmentally sustainable approach to coffee production. Most of the coffee from Finca Momoto is processed using the natural method, significantly reducing water usage. While Finca Momoto may be known for Geisha, Aliss also grows several other varieties on the farm, including Typica, Caturra, and Maragogype. This lot is a blend of Caturra and Typica varieties.
