Every year, Antonio delivers consistently great coffee

We love being able to offer a new crop coffee from Central America so early in the season.

From a young age Antonio dreamed of having his own farm. This became a reality when his father divided his farm up to share with his children, and in 1991 Antonio planted his first coffee tree. Now 35 years later, Antonio has fully realized this dream and we are once again impressed with the quality!

Fresh off the grind the aromatics are full of caramel and fresh cut apples. In the cup, we are tasting everything from golden raisin to pink lady, all wrapped in a toffee sweetness. Comfort coffee at its finest. We purchased a lot of this coffee so this is one to settle into for most of the spring season. Enjoy!

1Spot purchase

“Spot” is coffee in an importer’s inventory they have not sold. When we need to fill gaps in our contractual and relationship purchases, we buy spot. Of course, we are always open to spot becoming relationship purchases, and sometimes they do.

 2Contract purchase

Most of our purchases are contractual, meaning we have made a commitment to purchase the coffee before it arrives in the US. In general contracts are meant to build security for the producer and importer, and to help us make sure we have the coffee we need to share with you.

 3Repeat purchase

We are proud of the fact that many of the coffees we purchase are repeat purchases, and have been for years. Most producers, especially from Central and South America, can count on us purchasing their coffee year after year.

 4Visits

We’ve met, and have an ongoing relationship with the producer. At a minimum, they have visited us at Sweet Bloom, or we have visited them on the farm. As the relationship deepens, we build our understanding of:

1) challenges faced from one year to the next
2) sustainability practices on the farm
3) how the farmer is caring for their staff
4) ways in which we can support projects the farmers have implemented on the farm and in the community
