Santiago Bermeo is a relatively new coffee producer in the Tabaconas region, discovered through our partners at Origin Coffee Lab. His farm is in a rural area, home to a nature reserve, where many farmers also fish or grow other crops. Santiago produces around 42 bags of parchment (about 1700 kg of green coffee) per year. Since supplying specialty coffee roasters, he’s invested in fixed fermentation tanks and solar drying. We were really impressed with the quality when we first cupped his coffee and admire his passion for quality.
This is our second time purchasing from Santiago, due to part to his commitment to improving his crop and the fantastic cupping results his coffee has given us. Expect floral jasmine and honey suckle, underlying sweet berry, and lemon acidity.
