( / )
We source Maxi and Esmerelda Garcia's coffee from our exporting friends at Origin Coffee Lab in Peru. Our friend Tim Hill at Atlantic Specialty brings it into the U.S. for us on the importing side. This is our second season purchasing the Garmas family coffee, and we look forward to continuing this relationship indefinitely into the future. This is one of the best lots we've ever tasted from Peru, and we consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have access to this product of skilled effort at their farm and throughout the supply chain. Here is some info that Stan at Origin Coffee Lab sent to us:

Maxi and his wife Esmeralda have been working in coffee for many years. Maxi was a ‘tecnico’ or agronomist for the largest co-op in northern Peru for many years. Maxi made a smart move and decided to start his farm with all of the knowledge he had gathered over the years. Maxi does a great job paying attention to fine details such as drying, nursery propagation, and other factors. He is now a local figure where local farms refer to his practice for best procedures.
