NOTES: Dedicated to bringing the highest-quality, non-chemical-processed decaf coffees to market, this Origin Select Decaf offering is a single-origin blend of coffees selected by cup quality grown by multiple smallholder producers.

PRODUCER: Oscar and Francisca Chacon of Las Lajas Micromill; 9 different small-holder farmers

Oscar and Francisca Chacón are third-generation coffee producers, but the coffee is more than just in their family heritage: It's in their hearts and souls as well. The couple is committed to quality and innovation, and are among the very first farmers in Costa Rica to produce Honey and Natural process specialty coffee. In 2005, after years of delivering their cherry to a cooperative for the going market price, they decided to join the brand-new "micromill revolution" and buy their own de-pulper to have more control over the quality and the price they received for their lots.
Ethiopia Dehab’s diamond
BDCS CUPPING: 85.5
FLAVOR NOTES: Apricot, Dark Plum, Blackberry, Wine-like
ORIGIN: Ethiopia
REGION: Kaffa Forest
PRODUCER: Dehab Bitewlign
STORY: The farm was purchased in 1999. In 2000, Dehab’s husband and his friend started working in the coffee plantation, but Dehab stayed out of it at first. The two men continued for 12 years until the partner in charge fell ill and passed away. At this time, Dehab’s children were older and she was looking for work outside the home. So she took over the man’s role and bought his shares. Now the farm is 27% and 73% owned between Dehab and her husband. Dehab fell in love with the farm, farming and coffee. In every home in Ethiopia, the first meal is coffee. She remembers boiling the coffee for her mother.

Ethiopia Acacia Washed is produced by the smallholder farmers who characterize the coffee production landscape of Ethiopia. Sidamo encompasses many terroirs, but farming across the region is traditionally low input and the attributes of the plants and the land are captured in every harvest.

At that time, less than half a hectare of land was cultivated with coffee. Recognizing the excellence of the Opatoro region for coffee, he gradually bought more land, now owning a little over 31 hectares of land divided between Las Antenas Farm and Las Tres Piedras Farm.

PRODUCER: Efrain Nina and Natividad Suarez
FARM: Inciensuyoc and Jornadapata
NOTES: Efrain Nina and Natividad Suarez team up to bring us Nina and Natividad, representing their unique community, Urpipata (Quechua for “Pigeon Path”). Located in the Santa Teres district of La Convencion province in the Southern Peru region of Cusco, Uripipata is made up of around 300 families, all of whom grow coffee as their primary living. Because Santa Teresa is very close to Machu Picchu, this area also hosts large amounts of tourists who provide supplemental income in the off-season. Urpipata, like the rest of Santa Teresa, is remote with lush, semitropical vegetation and periods of heavy rain, especially in the months of January through May, often leading to landslides that close the main roads.
