The work these farmers put in as a team has definitely stood out from other lots coming into the Humure Washing Station.

Our exporting partner Baho has provided sytems and incentives for farmers like these to have their own lots separated in the future for their current successes. The quality of coffee here is outstanding. The meticulous group effort to keep physical defects and even processing above par is clearly paying off. In the cup, it's radically transparent that there is hard work being put in. This is professionally produced, high quality coffee. 

Next Roast Day: April 24th. Our coffee is best brewed or cupped 2+ weeks post-roast date. Saludos!
