Madcap Coffee In Antigua, Guatemala, volcanoes dominate the horizon and local farmers cultivate the nutrient-rich soil to grow coffees of world-renowned quality. Luis Pedro Zelaya calls this region’s coffee Hunapu, after the Mayan name for the largest volcano in the region. Luis Pedro is a fourth-generation coffee farmer and the owner of Beneficio Bella Vista, where nearly 300 farmers deliver ripe, sorted coffee, sometimes from as far as several hours away, that undergoes a long, cool fermentation and a thorough washing and drying. Madcap has proudly been working with Beneficio Bella Vista and purchasing Hunapu for nine seasons now. For the third year in a row, Hunapu comes from a farmer named Jose Asunción Hernández Illescas. A quintessential representation of the quality in Antigua, expect a coffee with great structure and mild acidity balanced by a syrupy, juicy sweetness. Tasting notes of milk chocolate, apricot, and raw sugar make this lot one of our favorites. |

Mr. Espresso Rosalba Cifuentes Tovía came to the San Francisco Bay Area from Chiapas, Mexico, with two small children and without knowing any English. What she did know was coffee. Incredibly, she built a network within Bay Area coffee circles. It has been her passion to use her coffee expertise to uplift the people from her native community of Chiapas. With 168 women producers of small acreage farms contributing to this lot, we are extremely proud that it is among our offerings. Rosalba has grown Mayan Harvest into a source that represents some of the best in the region. Combined with direct traceability and an exquisite taste that brings to mind notes of cherry, cream, and panela, this is a coffee you’ll feel good about buying and better about drinking. |

Monogram Coffee **Pre-sale next roast on August 1, 2024** Mil Cumbres has produced coffee for less than 10 years, but it is already making a big impact and highlighting a fairly unknown coffee region in Panama. Healthy soil, interesting varieties, and processing acumen all contribute to a really exciting and unique expression of Panamanian coffee. Because Mokka is a fairly rare variety due to the low yields and difficulties in harvesting such a small seed, we always jump at the chance to share this special coffee. |
