Grown at 1,900+ meters elevation with Caturra and Castillo varietals, it is processed using the washed method. The medium roast displays a silky smooth mouthfeel with light citrus acidity and balanced sweetness. Tasting notes include maple syrup, citrus, and smooth character. The farm is Rainforest Alliance certified and employs environmentally friendly shade-grown practices.

Great Minds roasts in small batches with a focus on continual improvement, rotating its coffee roster to keep the offering fresh and reflective of what is seasonally available.
