Madcap Coffee We first met Luis Reinoso in 2010 and have been buying his coffee ever since. Luis produces coffee in a collaborative effort with his wife, Yenni, whose name you may recognize from a previous label from the Reinoso farm. The Reinosos had the first coffee Madcap ever purchased from Colombia. Luis and Yenni operate on a small, secluded eleven-hectare farm on the outskirts of Herrera, Tolima. There you’ll find Luis diligently keeping records while processing small batches, and Yenni raking the drying coffee on top of the roof of their farmhouse. Though this coffee bears his name, Luis is the first to emphasize that it’s an equal partnership between Yenni and himself. In recent years, their daughter Mirtly has also been helping the family process the coffee. In this balanced cup, expect notes of hibiscus, pomegranate, and lime zest. |

Dune Coffee Benjamin Paz is a multiple time Cup of Excellence winner, taking first place with his coffees in 2022 and 2024. His farm, La Salsa, is is located on the Santa Bárbara mountain of Honduras. Here, the rainforest and proximity to water create a unique microclimate, where the Geisha variety thrives amidst these high elevations on the farm. Benjamin then processes this coffee using an anaerobic washed process, preserving the floral flavors and silky textures of the Geisha variety grown in the Santa Bárbara terroir. Benjamin’s Geisha reminds us of sweet stonefruit and vibrant citrus, with aromatic floral qualities like jasmine and honeysuckle. |

PERC This coffee blew us away. An intoxicating aroma danced out of the cup, drawing our lips to the rim like a dang tractor beam. The flavors remind us of black cherry syrup, blackberry jam, Cantaloupe, Cherry Lifesaver, Red Licorice, and brown sugar. This coffee is a beautiful juxtaposition. It’s complex, juicy, sweet, silky smooth, and a comforting treat. |

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. |
