FROM THE ROASTER

PEPE, JOSE, MONIQUE, MIGUELITO, AND THE FAMILY AND TEAMS OF PUTUSHIO AND SOLEDAD ARE SOME OF OUR DEAREST PARTNERS. THEIR COFFEES ARE AMONG THE MOST HIGHLY ANTICIPATED WE RECEIVE EVERY YEAR. THIS YEAR IN PARTICULAR, THEIR FARMS EXPERIENCED A NATURAL, YET NOTABLE DECLINE IN CHERRY PRODUCTION, SO THE AMOUNT OF COFFEE AVAILABLE WAS MUCH MORE SCARCE, WHICH MAKES THIS AN EVEN MORE SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH THESE BEAUTIFUL COFFEES FROM THE SUMMER 2026 HARVEST.

MEJORADO IS THANKFULLY COFFEE'S MOST PRIZED VARIETY. IT PRESENTS LOVELY FLORALITY AND CITRUS AND STONE FRUITS BECAUSE OF ITS ETHIOPIAN GENETICS, AND IMMENSE SWEETNESS DUE TO ITS BOURBON LINEAGE. THIS SEASON'S PUTUSHIO LOT IS ELEGANT, REFINED, COMPLEX AND AROMATIC: AN ORANGE BLOSSOM FLORALITY COMES OUT FRONT IN THE SIP AND WASHES OVER THE PALATE, THE FRUIT CENTERS ON A GOLDEN PEAR ORCHARD NOTE, AND IN CLASSIC MEJORADO FASHION THE SIP FINISHES WITH A SILKY, LINGERING DULCE DE LECHE. OUR FIRST 2026 MEJORADO OF THE SEASON.
