We send our coffee directly to the Benefiscio where it is air dried slowly in the Nicaraguan sun.
In addition, EP stands for European Preparation – a further sorting of the green coffee before it is exported, so only the finest green beans are bagged and exported.
We control the quality and processing of our coffee from TREE to CUP. We own the farms, our farms send their coffee directly to the Benefiscio, then we bag all coffee and load containers and deliver the containers to the port ourselves. We test all bags, high, middle and low for consistency and quality. Our forces in the U.S. receive sealed containers, with delivery directly to our clients or to our U.S. storage facilities, providing a secure chain of custody to your door. Our coffee is 100% Arabica, the majority is the Caturra variety, the rest is composed of Catimor. The Catimor variety is a cross between Timor and Caturra, which is resistant to rust blight. Rust Blight has led to a major drop in production this year of Caturra Arabica in El Salvador, Guatemala, Brazil and Mexico.
