Story:
Details:

This beautiful San Gabriel SL-28 is deeply packed with peach, apple cider, and butterscotch.


Maria Rodriguez is the heart of Farm Betenia. She inherited the land from her parents and is a third-generation coffee producer. The coffee plants under her care thrive under a canopy of guamo, cachimbo, orange, and avocado trees, creating a biodiverse ecosystem.


These cherries fermented and depulped in tanks for 72 hours. The coffee was washed and sorted by hand before drying for 22-27 days. One of the farms notable practices is the use of a modified roof that can be opened or closed, enabling Maria to regulate airflow and maintain temperature stability.


“Damn if this isn’t the epitome of beautiful, clean, washed coffee. It’s an SL-28, the variety that once made Kenyan coffees the best in the world, and while it doesn’t taste exactly like a Kenya from yesteryear, it’s cleaner and fruitier than any Kenyan I’ve tasted in the past few years from any roaster.

This is a gem.” - Scott Rao
