Specialty coffee beans

El Gusto

SINGLE ORIGIN | Light-Medium Roast

Central and South America – enchanted lands of mountains and lush forests – gave birth to our specialty El Gusto coffee. The inspiring landscapes from Guatemala to Colombia and Costa Rica offer a challenging, high altitude playground to seasoned coffee cultivators. Rumor has it that when evening falls, the farmers serenade their plants with Spanish lullabies, resulting in rich, satisfying coffees that have been shown nothing but love from seed to cup.
