Dionisio Pintado grows a mix of Bourbon and Caturra varietals on his family's six hectare farm. The cool nighttime temperatures and mild daytime highs encourage a long growing cycle, packing each cherry full of rich sugars and dense nutrients. After being picked, the cherries are fermented for 24 hours, washed, and dried on beds for 20-24 days. This careful processing results in a coffee that is exceptionally crisp and structured. We tasted melon, apple, mandarin, a sparkling Fuji apple acidity, a punchy, clean body, and a black tea finish.

Every coffee we share has been tasted and recommended by our expert Tasting Panel who have years of experience in specialty coffee. We cast a wide net, trying hundreds of coffees, keeping an open mind to new regions, processes, and roasters, and going through many rounds of cupping. If there was an easier way of choosing each coffee, we wouldn’t want to do it.
