About This Coffee

Los Morales' Geisha is grown at 5,905 feet on the slopes of Alotepeque, El Salvador. The coffee is cultivated in volcanic soil with cool mountain air by the Morales family. Ripest cherries are hand-picked each January and processed at the family's on-site mill using small pulpers, solar drying tunnels, and African beds. The Geisha variety undergoes natural and honey processes with anaerobic fermentations up to 72 hours. Drying extends 30 to 40 days depending on weather. This Cup of Excellence winner scored 91.80 points, featuring tasting notes of vanilla, apricot, stone fruit, earl grey, and cinnamon with a silky, bright finish.

Angelino's Coffee

Angelino's Coffee was founded in 2002 by Kirk Bedrossian in Los Angeles, the latest chapter in a three generation family coffee business that began with his father Vic's green coffee processing enterprise. Kirk spent four years travelling across Africa, Indonesia, and other coffee regions before opening the roastery, which runs two four sack Probat machines for production volume alongside smaller Diedrich machines for limited edition lots. All coffee is roasted daily and shipped within three to five days, with Roast Master Angel Bedrossian, Kirk's mother, overseeing tasting expertise and roast profiling. The company employs a direct trade model and made headlines in 2024 by purchasing all 11 top scoring coffees from the Cup of Excellence programme and breaking the all time auction price record at $445 per pound for an Ethiopian natural process coffee. The range spans over 50 specialty coffees available in whole bean, ground, and Keurig compatible formats.
