Tesfaye Bekele has been a champion of sustainable agroforestry in Guji, growing coffee under native forest spared from wildfires.

Night Swim Coffee We’re excited to welcome back some of our favorite coffees from 2024 as part of our ongoing effort to highlight underrepresented coffee regions in our world.

The work being done by the Yunnan Coffee Project is nothing short of inspiring. Guiben, a naturally processed coffee, bursts with candy-like fruit notes and has a wonderfully syrupy, sweet body.

Madcap Coffee Nelson Moreno inherited his first piece of land, 3 acres at about 1600 meters, from his father Orlando when he was only 16. In the Santa Barbara region, the surname Moreno and quality go hand-in-hand. Generations of Morenos’ work together harvesting each other’s coffee, as well as processing all of their lots together. Their collective effort is what sets the Moreno’s level of quality apart from the rest, and they have the Cup of Excellence awards to prove it. Specialty coffee enthusiasts recognize Santa Barbara, Honduras, as one of the most unique coffee micro-terroirs in all of Central America. Coffees from this region are known for being pleasantly sweet and easy sipping, and have a complexity all their own. Nelson Moreno’s coffee is a brilliant example of how terroir, generations of experience, and fine tuning can results in a stand out crop of coffee.This Pacas variety is processed anaerobically, or without oxygen. The coffee is depulped and then sealed in barrels for 80 hours, left in open-air fermentation tanks for 12 hours before being washed, and finally dried for 12-13 days on raised beds. This innovative processing technique results in a vibrant and expressive cup, with notes of honeydew, lychee, and hibiscus. |
