Detailed Information
Luis Alberto is a true legend of specialty coffee. On his farm, the coffee develops a juicier flavor profile with greater depth on the palate.
The "Un Regalo de Dios" (URDD) farm is located in the Dipilto-Jalapa mountain range, with a pine cloud forest to the south and broadleaf forest to the east and north. It boasts an ideal microclimate with favorable temperatures and excellent conditions for coffee production. The farm's soil is sandy and loose, supporting a rich biodiversity of flora. Under Luis Alberto's management, the primary motivation is to support everyone involved, not only financially, but also in their daily lives.
The Java variety in this batch is quite special, as it originated on the island of Java from the Horn of Africa. Isolated, it evolved, creating a variety with narrow leaves and elongated fruit that develop a very delicate and complex profile in the cup.
The process applied to this batch is identical to that of the Cup of Excellence champion won by Luis Alberto himself in 2020. We must keep the details confidential to preserve its unique character and respect the producer's work. As far as we can tell, the cherries were hand-picked at their optimal ripeness. Subsequently, the whole cherries were spread out on raised African beds using a technique that produces this extraordinary flavor profile.

Roasting and Shipping
We roast to order, which means we don't keep roasted coffee in stock at the shop. As a matter of routine, we have three roasting days per week: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday (excluding public holidays). If you place your order before 8:00 a.m. on one of those days, your coffee will be roasted that same day; otherwise, it will be roasted the next day. Orders are sent to their destination the day after they are toasted (Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday respectively). Please note that if your order does not contain coffee, it will be shipped the next business day after it is placed and will arrive at its destination within the following 48 hours (excluding holidays). Shipping costs are calculated during the checkout process.
