All our specialty coffee beans are planted, harvested, washed and dried within our farms, with maximum excellence and passion.

The 2024/2025 coffee growing season has certainly kept us on our toes. An unusually warm and arid winter was followed by promising September rains, only for October’s dryness — right at the peak of blossoming — to reduce fruit-setting and, consequently, coffee cherries. From November through January, rainfall returned, though still below average, sustaining healthy plant and cherry development. February surprised us again with a short dry spell during the critical grain-filling stage, resulting in smaller screen sizes and some underdeveloped beans.

Fortunately, March through June brought steady rains, replenishing the soil and allowing crops to recover. Our higher-altitude, with its cooler climate and naturally slower cycles, were less affected by February’s dryness, and for the first time in five years, winter brought very cold days with three light-tomoderate frosts between June and August. Combined with sunny, dry winter weather, this created ideal conditions for a longer, more delicate harvest and gentler drying of the beans.

Although Mother Nature was rather capricious in the last 12 months, our team at the farm managed to mitigate and turn around all these challenges, and the result is some exciting coffees coming your way. This year’s lots showcase vibrant acidity balanced with natural sweetness — hallmarks of our production. We also introduced innovations: experimenting with slightly earlier picking, slower drying methods, and an increased share of fermented coffees. Expanding our cement patios further enhanced efficiency, cleanliness, and overall consistency.

As always, our mission is to deliver coffees that delight and surprise while maintaining the standards our partners expect. We remain committed to listening, improving, and crafting exceptional coffees for those who appreciate the finest.
