About the Farm
We travelled up the rocky slopes to get to Manuel’s farm. A horse stood in the middle of the road. The horse whisperer, Benjamin, moved the huge beast off the road. Higher and higher you climb until the outline of the wet mill suddenly emerges from the dense fog. It’s another world up there. The cool night temperatures cause the coffee cherries to mature slowly and develop a higher sugar content. This year Manuel has produced his first bags of anaerobic coffee… and they taste great!
Roasting days:
Proud Mary roast Monday-Friday during normal business hours. To ensure freshness of coffee, best to order early in the week as postal services and couriers do not operate on weekends.
Orders:
Orders placed by 8.30am PST will be roasted and dispatched the same day. If you are ordering on a Friday, and order after 8.30am then your coffee will be roasted the following business day - Monday.
