Dear Friend,
It is unbelievable that we are fast approaching the second half of 2024. Entering June, we have faced massive delays for shipments as most shipping companies are unable to bypass the Suez Canal and have had to go through the Cape of Good Hope. In the coming weeks, we will be launching our selection from Central and South America, notably Ecuadorian and Panamanian coffee.
Before we delve into that, we have selected four coffees. These include our latest addition of the Duwencho Bunna Amrach G/H/D process as Anaerobic Honey. To date, we have had the CM process, Black Honey, and Anaerobic Process. A few months ago, the cooperative took part in the African Taste of Harvest (ToH) and scored highly in the Honey Process criteria. This is our second honey process from the same farm and processor, and this coffee is highly floral with sweet and vibrant notes.
The second coffee hails from the highlands of Bolivia. Finca Isabel is no stranger in the world of specialty coffee. In 2020, they were ranked #1 in the Torneo de Excelencia. Fernando Calle, an avid processor, took his mantle from none other than Price Peterson, owner of the renowned Hacienda La Esmeralda. He spent quite some time in Panama before returning to Loayza to start his own venture and emulate what he learned from Panama. The result is a very clean Geisha.
The third coffee comes from Costa Rica, from Imperiorojo. This farm sits at one of the highest altitudes in Costa Rica, ranging from 2000 to 2200 masl. This high altitude creates a tropical fruit profile in the cup, delivering a strong and robust flavor profile. It is as good as the Catuai grown in Panama.
Last but not least is a Geisha from Santa Felisa. For this round, we have selected the African Geisha processed as washed by Annabella Meneses. Coffee from this farm is highly sought after, and they have been instrumental in developing the Guatemalan Specialty Coffee industry. This coffee is very elegant with a delicate taste profile.
These four remarkable coffee will be delivered on the 3rd of June
a. Ethiopian - Duwencho Anaerobic Honey
b. Bolivian - Finca Isabel Geisha
c. Guatemala - Santa Felisa African Gesha
d. Costa Rica - Imperiorojo Catuai Black
Thank you for your support friend.
