Santa Lucia Coffee - Premium Specialty Nicaraguan Single-Origin Coffee
After so many years and incredible memories we have built working with our friends and colleagues in the D.C. community we’ve recognized the need to give back to the city and it's amazing people that have supported us over the years. As a result we have tried to work and collaborate with as many community organizations in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area as possible.
As we support the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia), and its metropolitan area including the incredible suburbs that drink our coffee the most, we believe in the need to support and participate in food based charity organizations/foundations throughout the year. We find it incredibly important to use our abilities however we can to make a positive impact on the community around us. We try to participate in every event that we get the opportunity to. Stop by one of these great chef driven events we participate in, sample a cup, and say hello!
We support our farmers in Nicaragua and at the farm level where we source our beans we have always believed in our social responsibility to the farm with fair pricing and paying a premium to the grower. Giving back to the workers and their families who provide us with the beautiful premium coffee cherries which produce a great cup is a core value for us and something we consistently strive for.
Please reach out to us regarding any potential community related events and fundraisers that Santa Lucia could donate or contribute too. We would love to be a part of your event!
The Santa Lucia story is organic and local: during the beginning of the specialty coffee movement of the early 1990's, Nicaraguan native William Gutierrez and his restaurateur wife Jodi Lehr were among the first importers of Nicaraguan coffee to the US.
