Edgar Erazo - Pacas

MEET THE PRODUCER | Through mutual friends Kevin Bohlin (Saint Frank Coffee) and Benjamin Paz (San Vicente), we established our very first direct-trade relationship with a producer named Edgar Erazo in 2017. In the nearly seven years since that introduction, Edgar's coffees have been featured on our menu many times, and we now purchase his entire Pacas crop at each harvest! Known for their intense sweetness and comforting approachability, Santa Barbaran coffees are pretty beloved around here - and this year's lot from Edgar is an archetype of the region.

TRUST THE PROCESS | This lot was processed as a traditional washed coffee. No fancy co-fermentation happening here, folks - just the traditional washed processing method, executed beautifully (as always) by Edgar Erazo and his team.

TAKE A SIP | Super sweet and easy-drinking, this coffee is - as always - a crowd-pleaser. It's the perfect coffee to share with your Starbucks lovers and your barista friends, with a flavor profile that checks all the right boxes: sweetness, like brown sugar; stone fruit, like black plums; and a subtle acidity that reminds us of lemon zest. Edgar's Pacas lot is one of our most beloved releases every year, and we're pretty darn confident that you're only one sip away from understanding why.
