Coffee Growers
Meko Gutierrez’s San Jose Farm is surrounded by dedicated coffee micro growers. In the 2019 main harvest, we ran our first casual selection of microlots from our neighbors. These microlots exhibit distinct cupping notes that must be a reflection of slight differences in soil, microclimate, or even handling of the beans.
We are currently working on relationship microlots and have in our shop coffees from three of our best neighboring coffee growers, excellent and dedicated families who maintain consistency in the harvesting and beneficiation processes.
