Thanks to traceability to the source farm, beautiful shade to grow, hand washing, sorting and patio drying, these coffee beans are made sustainably prior to traveling to the US to be roasted. During the procurement process, we select and only use the top 20-25% beans available. These beans are selected by size, shape, and humidity. This quality helps the beans hold up through the processing, roasting, and brewing process. With direct relationships to the source, Santa Lucia brings the best beans from these farms to your cup.
