This lot from our partners at Cenfrocafe marks a new phase in one of our oldest relationships. Cenfrocafe was founded in 1999 with 220 small-scale coffee farmers in 11 community-based organizations. Today it serves 2,000 farmers in 52 organizations. As the cooperative has grown, our direct contact with individual growers has diminished. This lot is the result of a new initiative that seeks to change that. Working with Cenfrocafe, we’ve arranged a direct relationship with the farmers surrounding a single village, Huabal–an arrangement that provides us with more consistent coffees and an avenue to work directly with the same growers year in and year out. On the whole, the village produces around three containers of coffee a year; we’re buying a third of that. Like all of Cenfrocafe’s coffees, this lot’s been sorted and separated meticulously. Huabal boasts some of the highest altitudes within Cenfrocafe with some areas situated above 1,900 meters. We’re pleased as punch with this release from the Huabal growers: plumy and rounded with notes of dark cherry and citrus.
