Farmlevel Story

On the side of Mount Santa Barbara overlooking Lake Yojoa sits Maria Baide’s small but mighty farm, Las Flores. Maria has built a place to wash and grow high quality specialty coffee on just 1.75 acres, and works closely with our farmlevel partners at Benificio San Vicente, a nearby dry mill. The microclimate on the side of the mountain provides a unique place to grow coffee that always yields amazing results. The Parainema cultivar grown in this environment has sweet but delicate tea-like qualities. 

She and her husband live in a bright purple house on the mountainside, covered with flowers and surrounded by coffee trees. The drying beds are just right on her patio so she can watch her coffee closely at all times. We buy 100% of her coffee, and are so lucky to have this partnership with her. This is our third year buying Maria’s coffee and we’re looking forward to seeing more of her coffee in the coming years.

Producer

Coffee producers have their own methods that can make coffee special. We will always highlight our producers, cooperatives, and washing stations to provide farmlevel traceability.

Cultivar

Each cultivar has its own flavor profile. Not only is the taste different, but the actual coffee plant is different. Even the shape of the bean will vary between cultivars.

Processing Method

Coffee processing is crucial to the taste in the cup. Processing is done by the producer during the drying process. Most of our coffees are washed, but we always call out natural, honey, and experimental processes.

Elevation

Most of our coffees come from high elevation farms. Different cultivars thrive under different environmental factors. The elevation is a huge part of how well certain coffees will grow.
