A central American country with Caribbean Sea coastlines to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the south, the republic is bordered to the west by Guatemala, to the southwest by El Salvador, to the southeast by Nicaragua, to the south by the Pacific Ocean.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Pacavita is in the western part of Honduras, surrounded by biological reserves and mountain ranges. The rainy season results in beautiful cherries, and the clear dry season during harvest allows producers to sun dry coffees once they are washed. The high-altitude weather, rich clay soil, and warm sun ensure that the integrity and quality of the beans is preserved from start to finish. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Guatemala, a Central American country south of Mexico, is home to volcanoes, rainforests and ancient Mayan sites. With an estimated population of around 17.6 million, Guatemala is the most populous country in Central America.<\/span><\/p>\n

Huehuetenango farms sit high in the mountains ranging from 5,000 \u2013 6,500 feet (2,000masl). This renowned region owes much to the dry, hot winds that come in from the mountains of Mexico\u2019s Tehuantepec plain. The additional heat layers protect Huehuetenango from frost and enable coffee to grow at dizzying heights.<\/span> <\/span>The fact that Huehuetenango farms are so high up and remote means that producers must often set up their own micro-mills. Fortunately, Huehuetenango is also blessed with numerous rivers that facilitate washed-process coffee. In the cup, this lot features bright acidity, light body, and sweet notes of chocolate, almond, cane sugar, and hints of tart green apple.<\/span><\/p>\n

Costa Rica is a rugged, rainforested Central American country with coastlines on the Caribbean and Pacific. Though its capital, San Jose, is home to cultural institutions like the Pre-Columbian Gold Museum, Costa Rica is known for its beaches, volcanoes, and biodiversity. Roughly a quarter of its area is made up of protected jungle, teeming with wildlife including spider monkeys and quetzal birds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Established in 1888, The San Diego Mill is the most modern mill in Costa Rica.<\/span> <\/span>Today San Diego specializes in coffees from the Tarraz\u00fa and Tres Rios regions.<\/span> <\/span>This natural (dry) processed coffee was cultivated by growers in Costa Rica\u2019s Tarraz\u00fa region. The smallholders delivered cherry to the San Diego mill and to its satellite receiving stations. Once at the mill, the cherries were sorted, holding back only ripe red cherries for this micro-lot. The cherries were then laid out with the fruit intact and turned regularly to promote even drying and air circulation. After hulling, the coffee was cupped by the quality control team at San Diego and finally sorted to prepare this wild, bold, fruit-forward coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n

Colombia is one of the most highly populated countries in South America, with the majority of the population living in cities. Colombia is one of the most biologically diverse countries on Earth, boasting beautiful wildlife and a varying climate across the country due to its mountainous terrain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Colombia is <\/span>actually a<\/span> near-perfect\u202f<\/span><\/span>coffee growing climate<\/span><\/span>, and Colombian coffee produces a specific type of bean that results from the environment. Colombia gets heavy <\/span>rainfall<\/span> and the landscape never gets close to falling below freezing temperatures at any time of the year. The tropical location is perfect for growing <\/span>coffee, and<\/span> grow it <\/span>does<\/span>! There are about 600,000 coffee growers in Colombia, and most of them pick the beans by hand.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Colombia is the world’s third largest coffee producer overall, it is the highest in the world for Arabica coffee beans. Each year, the country produces approximately 13 million green bags of coffee (each of which contains about 132 lbs) and exports it across the world. <\/span>Colombian coffee usually has sweet notes such as chocolate, toffee, nuts, and citrus fruits, and the mild acidity makes it smooth on the palate.\u00a0<\/span>It’s very balanced, has good body, brightness, and flavor.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

SHG (<\/span>Strictly High Grown<\/span>) specifies that the coffee was grown at an altitude around 1357m\/4429 feet. Coffee grown at a higher altitude and lower temperature produces a slower maturing fruit and a denser bean; which creates a more desirable specialty cup.<\/span><\/p>\n

HG: refers to \u201cHigh Grown\u201d, which means the coffee was grown at around an altitude of 1200m\/3937 ft above sea level.<\/span><\/p>\n

EP refers to ‘European Preparation’ which is 100% above screen 15; allows a max. of 8 defects per 300g\/11 ou (by contrast an ‘American Preparation’ is 100% above screen 13, and allows 23 defects per 300g\/11ou but only for washed arabicas); clean cup.<\/span><\/p>\n
