    Finca Nueva Armenia

    The quality of craftsmanship from Recinos family's Finca Nueva Armenia – in Guatemala's Huehuetenango district – is evident in every cup clean, clear notes of green apple, grape, and almond above a crisp acidity and juicy body.

    Our soils are in crisis. Conventional, chemical-based farming is destroying soil health, leaving farms with increasingly barren earth.

From the Road: San Ignacio, Peru!

7-18-08

The farms around San Ignacio look great, but this year might be a tough for many in the Cenfrocafe co-op because an early rain damaged the crop and will lower their output.Our Sustainability & Producer Relations Manager Kim Elena Bullock just visited San Ignacio, Peru, the home of Valle del Santuario! Kim Elena sent back two dispatches in the last week from her travels, including a latte-art throw down in Lima, meeting with reps from Cenfrocafe (the co-op behind Valle del Santuario), farm visits, a spontaneous volleyball game, and much more!

Read more about Kim Elena's trip to Peru in our Origins section.

Thanks,
Nathan

Finca El Puente is a special coffee and truly close to our hearts. We discovered it on our very first trip to Honduras, fell in love with it then, and have been head over heels ever since. Moisés Herrera and Marysabel Caballero – the couple who run the farm – have become like family, and this year they continued the tradition of refining an already-great coffee. This harvest of Finca El Puente brings lighter purple-lavender and plum notes, black cherry, sugar cane sweetness, and toasted nut in the finish. View map.
