2025 Award Winners

Elite Lot: El Vergel

We’re proud to introduce El Vergel, a double award winner at the Golden Bean The Americas, one of the most respected coffee competitions.

Honored with two category wins with both a Silver Medal and Bronze Medal, El Vergel represents the heart of our roasting craft — precision, balance, and depth in every cup.

Sourced from El Vergel Estate in Tolima, Colombia, and grown by Martha Montenegro & Elias/Shady Bayter, this Bourbon Sidra varietal is processed using a Natural 72-hour Mosto Anaerobic method, creating a cup that’s vibrant, candy-sweet, and bursting with tropical fruit and raspberry notes.

This is a highly limited release, roasted in small batches and available only while supplies last.
