Bard has been working with producer Bertilio Reyes Portillo for well-over a decade. We entered into an exclusive partnership with him in 2011 and have never looked back. A few years ago during one of our yearly visits, there was a parcel of land adjacent to his farm that was up for sale that he wanted to buy. We were able to help him purchase this land, renovate it, and begin to convert it to become a fully organic operation. Organic farming is very near and dear to our hearts, but comes with many risks. Finca Carmencita, named in honor of one of our owners, Carmen Garver, has proven to be worth it. We find this coffee to be incredibly well balanced, with a hint of that peachy citrus quality that we enjoy year after year from his main crop.
We roast on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and to ensure the best tasting coffees, orders received after Monday may not be processed or shipped until the following week.
