Coffee suggestions:
-- Costa Rica San Francisco 1900 - A direct trade favorite. Hector Bonilla owns some of the best pieces of coffee growing land in Tarrazu, this plot at 1900 meters. He also owns the venerable Don Mayo micromill where his own coffees are processed as well as other notable area growers. This single plantation coffee has layers of flavors, citric brightness and chocolate smoothness.
-- Panama Finca Lerida - We visited Finca Lerida last May and were really impressed with the care and investment new owners have brought to bear on the property and its coffee. The farm is set very high on a gorgeous property favored by some of the varied bird species in the world. Lerida has been producing coffee since 1924 and was regarded as the finest available until a recent era when the property required reinvigoration. A few years ago it came under new ownership with the means to restore it to greatness and this harvest is the first showing signs of that rebirth. This coffee is very elegant.
-- Guatemala Antigua La Tacita - Fourth generation Falla family farm that produces flavorful Bourbon varietal, shade grown. We have had this relationship for a number of years. It is one of the limited number of authentic Antigua farms and one of the best.
