Casa de Piedra is one of two farms operated by Cafe Directo, a family business founded in 2013 by Father and Daughter team, Gerardo and Jennifer Arias. The farm is dedicated to the production, processing, and marketing of the finest Costa Rican Tarrazú coffees produced in harmony with the natural environment. Directo’s vision is to contribute to the development of their community through fair and ethical trade. 

Its founders have over thirty years of experience in the production and processing of specialty micro-lots including naturals, yellow, red, and black honeys, anaerobic, semi-washed and fully washed processes. 

The unique conditions on the farm – in particular its micro-climate and soil type, as well as elevations up to 1,800 MASL – allow for a wide range of varieties to flourish, including Catuai, Pacamara and Geisha.
