This is a rare offering from El Salvador featuring the SL-34 varietal, originally developed and typically grown in Kenya. La Cumbre Farm was founded in 1872 and has been family-owned for five generations, currently managed by Emilio López Diaz since 2004. The farm has introduced several innovative varieties including Yellow Bourbon, Pacamara, and Gesha, with SL-34 planted in 2015. This coffee presents a distinctive flavor profile with notes of peach, orange candy, and caramel.
Case Coffee Roasters was founded in 2006 by Kati and Tim Case in Ashland, Oregon. The team roasts on a Diedrich IR 7 with a focus on light to medium profiles, using compostable packaging throughout. Sourcing follows a direct trade and relationship based model with an emphasis on sustainability, and USDA Organic certified coffees feature in the range. The café on Fourth Street serves espresso, pour over, and pastries from local bakeries, and the business supports nonprofits and arts organisations in the Ashland community through regular partnerships.
