    Costa Rican coffee sets the standard for Central American coffees. The beans are grown in high altitudes in amazing volcanic soil. These two factors contribute to one of the best cups of Central American coffees we offer. The Costa Rican coffee estate located in Tarrazu is at the more remote lands up the Pirris River basin in the Tarrazu Highlands. This Tarrazu estate represents the Costa Rican coffee with Tarrazu character, where the coffee is clearly farmed for quality and not quantity, and this is clearly reflected in the cup. costaricacoffe.jpg
       
    From Brazil, Fazenda Cachoeira has been in the Carvalho Dias family since 1890, had its 108th coffee crop this year. Gabriel de Carvalho Dias, son of the owner, Lindolpho de Carvalho Dias is responsible for the property's management. It is located 3 miles from Minas Gerais state line and has characteristics from the mountainous areas of Mogiana and from Sul de Minas. On this farm everything is done manually, which includes coffee plantation handling and harvest, since its topography does not allow any kind of mechanization. A fragrant coffee that has a sweet floral and ripe cherry aroma that carries into the cup. It intermingles with hints of caramel, wine and dark chocolate. Nice body with good acidity for a Brazil that livens the cup. costarica_candelilla.jpg
       
    G3 Espresso comes from a coffee grower best known for its innovative research, its respect for the environment and its high quality coffee. Plantations are located in the Cerrado region (State of Minas Gerais) and in the Mogiana region (State of S„o Paulo). The high altitude, stable temperature, and defined rainy season create perfect conditions for sustainable Arabica coffee farming. This farms uniqueness lies not only in its environmental philosophy: protection of wildlife, water resources, and native forests, but also in its social responsibility, promoting labor rights. - RAINFOREST CERTIFIED minasgerais_copy.jpg
       
    Malawi single-origin coffee is grown on one of the finest estates in land-locked Malawi, Africa's smallest coffee growing country. The majority of Malawi's limited coffee production is purchased and consumed in Britain. Malawi coffee is relatively new to the United States coffee market, however, excellent crops have been produced for over a 100 years. Coffee plantations began to flourish in the 1890's following the construction of the Shire Highlands Railway which sold the bulk of its land to coffee plantation owners and then profited from shipping their goods. malawicoffee.jpg
       
    Antigua is Guatemala's oldest and most famous coffee growing region. The magnificent volcanoes of Agua, Acatenango, and Fuego enclose this valley. Fuego lives up to its name (fuego means fire in Spanish) by spewing forth volcanic ash continuing to add to the rich soil of the area. Antiguan cups are nice bodies, full-on bright coffees with spice. There is a reason this region is so loved and sought out by the coffee connoisseur. antiguacoffee.jpg
    Columbian Supreme and Excelso (and decaf) are bean size descriptions, not cupping profiles, growing altitudes, or anything else. Supremos are bigger than Excelos, but these names do not mean anything on cup, per se. Basically they are the names that the Coffee Federation came up with. columbiancoffee.jpg
    Sumatra anchors the western-most reach of the Malay Archipelago. Positioned directly on the equator it is the fourth largest island in the world. It is truly a rich and full bodied coffee. It also presents an intense, bright aroma. Its acidity is distinct yet mellow. This coffee finishes sweet with a lingering richness

    Sulawesi coffees are low-acid with great body and that deep, brooding cup profile akin to Sumatra. The coffee is sometimes known as Celebes, which was the Dutch colonial name for the island. It was over a hundred years ago when the Dutch first discovered a haven for coffee growers. High up in the cool and fertile mountains of Toraja land in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, lay this paradise which produced only the finest coffee beans. sulawesicoffee.jpg
    Tanzania is a delicate acidity is gently rounded though not obscured by a marvelously tactful dark roast, which also turns the fruit richly chocolate-toned. The chocolate nuance weaves through the profile consistently from aroma through finish. To place an order e-mail us with your request and contact information.

    Kenya This is a bright coffee that lights up the palate from front to back. It is not for people who do not like acidity in coffee. A great Kenya is complex and has cool fruit flavors - sometimes even a spicey flavor. Some Kenya's are clean and bright and some have a wonderful winey flavor.

    Panama I have read that the joke among coffee brokers is that a really good Kona is a Panama, and a really good Jamaican is a Panama, and a really good Costa Rican is a Panama....You get the idea. Obviously they are joking, but they are serious about one thing - this is a great cup of coffee.
