Beneficio Monte Brisas is family-owned and operated mill in Zarcero de Alajuela. They process coffee from their three farms in Llano Bonito, Barranca and Cañuela.

She takes care of all the agricultural and technical processes. It was Doña María Elena who decided to plant and invest in coffee. In 2011, the Salazar Castro family decided to start processing their own coffee and established the micro mill.
