Natural Minas Gerais Arabica Coffee
This natural process coffee from Minas Gerais offers a raisin-like rummy fruit flavor prominent in many high-grown Brazil naturals. An excellent contrast to our slightly more pungent Porta Rossa profile, like comparing jelly and peanut butter
Papua New Guinea NOP Certified
Organic Arabica
Maple syrup and hints of berry in the acidity. Stands alone well, or could offer medium-to-high notes in a blend.
Java Estate “Kali Bendo” Arabica Coffee
An appealingly deep and resonant cup, with echoes of molasses and raisin. Phenomenal as a blend base, and stands alone well too.
Sumattra Certified Organic Arabica Coffee
Very popular with our clients for its consistency and its excellent balance of syrupy low tones with round fruit top notes.

Colombia Excelso “Monserrate” Arabica Coffee
A relationship coffee produced by a community in Huila. Bold cherry acidity, red berry tones, and solid structure. Silky body. An outstanding example of what Colombia can do in the specialty grades.
Monserrate is a community of 28 families some two hours down a bumpy dirt road from La Plata. The town itself consists of a single street draped along the top of a gorgeous ridge with a commanding view of the lush green valleys on either side. At the highest point in town sits a brick-clad church and bell tower.
The coffee grown here is Caturra and Typica varietal. Each family has its own de-pulping and fermentation set up, along with raised drying screens protected from the rain by parabolic roofs of transparent plastic. The drying areas are set up on a slight incline, so that both ends of the tunnel can be opened to allow airflow across the coffee.
Since every family contributes coffee for export, each fermentation and drying process has to be done perfectly, or it could compromise the entire shipment. Happily, the whole community takes great pride in their work, and the results show very nicely in the cup–delicate floral tones balanced by jellied wine grape sweetness.

El Salvador SHG Gourmet Prep Finca La
Providencia Arabica Coffee
Yet another stellar El Salvador estate coffee, Finca La Providencia is the newest addition to the Pacas family’s collection of farms. High altitude, heirloom Bourbon and Pacas trees, and volcanic soil are all responsible for the sparkling acidity of this coffee, hinting at white wine and green apple, with a brown sugar and molasses sweetness that rounds the flavor out perfectly.
