Martinez Calderon family owns the micromill Granitos de Ortiz located in Costa Rica, Santa Maria de
Dota-Tarrazú.
Everything started as a dream of Mr. Omar Calderon who went years ago to this region in Costa Rica,
thinking about starting to process his own coffee, motivated by his wife and his four daughters. This is
how he decided to start. With plantations over 1800 meters and good management of its 5 farms -
the 2000 Ortíz (2000m), the 1900 Ortíz (1900m), la Granadilla (1800m), la Casa (1750m) and the Nery
(1700m) he began the height gain of Ortíz Granites. All the maintenance work at the coffee
plantations is carried out by Mr. Calderon, who has an experience of over 20 years. Since he was 18
years old he devoted himself to coffee plantation and now the micromill is managed by his daughters.
