The newest addition to our current offerings is a fully washed Caturra gem from the Cafetalera Zamorana estate in Costa Rica; however what makes this specific coffee so unique, is that it is the first crop Jorge Zamora has set aside as a single farm lot, which has ultimately been named Finca San Luis. Unlike the Finca Las Lajas and Cafetalera Herbazu we had last year from Costa Rica the FInca San Luis produces a much different cup character, shifting from a lemon-rind/ Kenyaesq quality to a more subtle Concord grape jam/ wine acidity with a very satisfying layered mouth feel and not-so-aggressive finish. This coffee is currently being served at the Sandbox Bakery, The Stable Cafe as well as Pinkie’s Bakery and while it just rolled in about a week ago, we have a limited amount and expect it to go rather quickly.

Speaking of Pinkies Bakery- Cheryl has recently moved her kitchen from Potrero Hill to 1196 Folsom St (at 8th) in SOMA and has been pouring beautiful coffees on the custom V60 bar we built two days ago. Needles to say we are more than thrilled to have Pinkie’s on board.
