FOR THE COFFEE

Cerro San Luis Micromill is a family business run by two siblings Alexander and Magali Delgado and their spouses, who own and operate both farms and a small mill in Grecia, in the West Valley. In the interest of improving their quality and remaining competitive, they have focused on growing different varieties, and about 4 years ago they replaced their older stock with 10 or more different types of coffee, including Caturra, Red and Orange Bourbon, SL-28, Catuai, Villa Sarchi, and Maragogype.

The family's farms are adjacent to one another, but the plots are given separate names for lot separation purposes, and the mill is located at the family home, just a few miles away.

After harvesting, the cherry is brought right to the family home, where they are able to do a variety of different processes, from washed and honeys to natural. As is common at mills in Costa Rica, at Cerro San Luis the type of honey is decided by how much mucilage is left on the coffee after depulping.

ABOUT The Brick

Nestled in the dynamic Telliskivi Creative City in Tallinn, The Brick Coffee Roastery is more than a café - it's a destination for thoughtfully roasted coffee, curated with care from bean to cup. From ethically sourced green beans to in-house roasting and attentive brewing, the team is committed to transparency, traceability and flavor clarity. With its minimalist industrial setting and welcoming atmosphere, The Brick offers both espresso-based classics and refined filter brews that allow the origin's character to shine.

Founded by coffee-enthusiasts Henry Politanov and Märten Kuusemets, The Brick embodies their shared vision of raising the specialty-coffee standard in Estonia. Henry's journey from café barista to roaster, sparked by a trip to Brazil, and Märten's rigorous training under Estonia's first specialty roaster, combine to form a team deeply rooted in craft and continuous improvement.
