A decade ago, a neighbor convinced Blasina Martinez to try growing coffee alongisde the corn and beans she farmed to sustain her family. She began growing for specialty not long after her first harvests, and we were introduced to her by Proyecto Cabañas and Exportada San Vincente, which enabled us to buy her wonderful coffee last season as well as this one.

We're huge fans of Proyecto Cabañas and its emphasis on quality control. This coffee was given extra care at each step, from hand-sorting beans for defects, to allowing the coffee an extended drying time at the mill, to resting the green coffee until it was in perfect condition to roast. It's through patience and attention like this that a coffee's best attributes can be emphasized, and we think the gifts it offers in the cup are more than worth it.
