flavor notes explained

chocolate wafer - This coffee presents a general cocoa profile made dynamic with some hints of nuttiness, thus making a wafer that perfect combo of a flavor note.

cream - The smoothness of this coffee stood out amongst the other coffees we had on the cupping table.

apple - Amongst the predominantly sweet and earthy notes, we tasted a touch of fruited sweetness that we felt was best described as a subtle apple note.

about Loma La Gloria

While she originally dreamed of becoming a coffee roaster and owning her own coffee shop, Anny Ruth pivoted in 2012 to take over operations of the Loma La Gloria farm. Her father, Roberto, had purchased the land back in the 1990s and even built a mill on it. But when a coffee crisis struck, the mill was left abandoned, with Roberto selling the coffee cherries to local mills.

All that changed when Anny Ruth took over the reins. She rehabilitated, updated, and began running the mill, and has been exporting traceable, quality coffee directly ever since. Rich in volcanic soil and spanning ideal elevations for growing coffee (1200-1750 meters above sea level), Loma La Gloria grows Red Bourbon and Pacamara varietals–all of which are consistently delicious.

I recently took a trip out to Loma La Gloria and was blown away by some of the coffee coming out of this farm–some of which had been developed through magical-sounding processing methods I had never heard of before, like the “unicorn process”. Definitely a trip worth taking and a coffee worth sharing with all of you!
