We are so excited to introduce this direct trade coffee from our friends at Tio Conejo. It’s slick, refreshing, and exploding with fruit and floral notes. Think cranberry, mango, banana bread, pear, and jasmine. This particular lot comes directly from Tio Conejo’s own farm and is composed solely of Yellow Caturra, a varietal which is actually yellow when it ripens as opposed to the red that is typical of most coffees. This unique varietal, coupled with Tio Conejo’s meticulous dedication to quality on the farm level, creates a truly lovely and unique cup of coffee that comes highly recommended from the JBC cupping team. A must-try!
