Holiday Blend

Our Holiday Blend this year is a delightful fusion of flavors from Central America, drawing inspiration from the rich coffee traditions of El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Honduras. We've carefully selected and roasted beans from these regions to a darker profile, unveiling the deep, enchanting tastes reminiscent of mulled cherry, cocoa, and a touch of spice.

This blend is our tribute to festive gatherings, designed to be shared and savored with friends, family, and colleagues during the holiday season. But don't wait too long – this exclusive blend will be available only until December 31st, 2023. Make sure to experience this unique and festive coffee while it lasts!

Inspired by her grandfather since the age of 6, Miriam Elizabeth Pérez Zelaya became a pioneer in organic coffee farming in Marcala, Honduras. In 1993, she helped form the first cooperative for exporting organic coffee in the region, and played a key role in leading to Honduras' first certified organic coffee shipment to Germany.

Her farm, 'Finca Clave de Sol,' is renowned for its diverse fruit cultivation and sustainable practices, including contour farming, organic composting, and tree planting. Miriam's commitment to organic farming reflects her dedication to preserving nature, a principle encapsulated in the 'Spiral of Life,' a concept symbolized by her farm's name.
