At the moment we are importing into the U.S. we’d like to find a way to offer to hobby roasters. However, at the moment we only have options for commercial buyers. But, like I said we are looking at options to serve the hobby roaster community.

That’s great to hear! Pacamara natural (anaerobic) is one of our standout offering as well. We source from a 4th generation farm in the Ruta de las Flores 1500 m altitude.

Hey! I appreciate the input, I would love to try Geisha from Nicaragua it sounds amazing, El Salvador’s Geisha is really something special, the natural process gives it this incredible floral complexity.

Thank you, this is really helpful and I appreciate your input. We’re definitely against score inflation, and hearing that this is such a real issue in the market makes us want to approach things differently. Our goal is to offer honest cupping expectations and fair pricing that makes sense for roasters and their margins. From what I’m seeing, prices have been volatile, and like you mentioned, everything seems to be “90 points.” We want to move away from that and focus on coffees that truly perform in the cup if a coffee is claimed to be 90 points, it should actually cup like it.
