Clean, balanced in the cup, sweet and fruit-forward

 

Don Pedro Echavarria established the Santa Barbara Estate almost three decades ago with the vision of producing a superior quality Colombian coffee. This vision is proudly shared by all in the Santa Barbara Estate family. This Estate is one of the few completely integrated coffee farms in Colombia, which ensures traceability and close quality control from seed to cup. A combination of factors such as climate, altitude, constant care, renovation of trees, and good volcanic soil provide the basis for excellent coffee production. Education and incentive programs encourage the workers to focus on quality rather than quantity. The highly technological wet and dry mill processing, coupled with attention to detail and daily cupping, enables the Santa Barbara Estate to deliver an exceptional high-quality product.

 

This coffee is clean and balanced in the cup, fruit-forward, with great sweetness, and notes of orange, caramel and cherry.

We taste tangerine, chocolate and hints of walnuts. Well balanced with a great balance of citrus acidity and body. 

 

Ixlama from Huehuetenango, Guatemala, comes from specialty-selected small producers, like Finca El Paternal and Finca Nueva Palmira, from the highlands in the state of Huehuetenango. This shade-grown coffee is harvested and brought to the mill where it is sun dried on a patio and placed in “guardiolas.”  It is separated by color via computer and density/size mechanically which results in a superior, clean, bright cup.
