WHY WE LIKE IT
If freshness were represented by a coffee, this would be it. Buena Vista is a delicate coffee, with citrus notes reminiscent of lime and a very fresh apricot. It has a round acidity, accompanied by sweetness, like a light caramel. With a medium body, it is ideal to drink when you fancy something smooth and fresh. It works very well both in espresso and in filter.

HISTORY
Fifteen years ago, Jesus was growing various crops on his farm and was not satisfied with the results. He decided to focus on coffee, and the success has encouraged him to continue down this path and plant more coffee on the farm. Jesus and his family work together on the farm, and his children help process the coffee in their artisanal wet mill.
"As a family that depends on coffee for a living, we work hard to get the best quality possible," explains Jesus.
