There's nothing more exciting than introducing people to authentic, delicious coffee that is produced with care by talented farmers dedicated to fair, democratic principles, sustainable agriculture, and the cultivation of the highest quality coffees imaginable. For more than a decade, we have spent an unprecedented amount of time working side by side with our partners at origin to source the greatest coffees in the world, directly from the farmers themselves, celebrating the individuals, farms, and cultures behind each harvest. Coffee is a seasonal fruit, and like any responsible purveyor of fresh produce, we only sell coffee at the peak of flavor and freshness; and we roast skillfully, in small batches, to bring out each coffee's singular characteristics and "taste of place."
We also have a mission to create cutting-edge coffee people, and through our regional training centers and industry-leading coffee education, this mission extends beyond our employees to our customers, friends, and ultimately to the general public. We've found that the more informed you are about coffee, the better we are forced to perform. So, browse around, join our 'insider' newsletter, and by all means let us know what you think!

Now Accepting Pre-orders for Hacienda Esmeralda Special Microlot! |
|
7-3-08
 On their small farm in the Boquete Valley, the Peterson family cultivates Hacienda Esmeralda Special Microlot, the rare, celebrated Geisha coffee varietal from Ethiopia. A taste of coffee perfection, this once-in-a-lifetime, intensely fragrant microlot overflows with sublime notes of honey, citrus, jasmine, honeysuckle, lemon blossom, and melon. A truly transporting coffee experience.
Perhaps the most justly acclaimed and celebrated coffee in history, Hacienda Esmeralda Special Microlot will be here soon. The green coffee is expected to arrive sometime in July, and we plan to begin roasting shortly thereafter. We are now accepting pre-orders for Hacienda Esmeralda Special Microlot!
Because of the extremely special nature of this coffee, orders containing Hacienda Esmeralda Special Microlot will be held in full until each roast date. As such, we recommend pre-ordering Hacienda Esmeralda Special Microlot separately.
Click here for more information or to pre-order Hacienda Esmeralda Special Microlot.
Also, we hope you have a safe and happy holiday weekend.
Best,
