Tasting Notes

Candied Pecans • Cocoa • Dried Fruit

"This coffee has a beautiful sweet profile with a nice chocolate and nuttiness that makes it a perfect daily driver. As it cools, you get a lot more of the natural acidity, adding a more fruity note to it. This is a great coffee for any brewing method. As a person who leans towards fruity coffees, I know that sometimes it’s just great to enjoy a beautifully bold coffee. This really is a coffee for anyone."

Loma La Gloria Coffee Production

While she originally dreamed of becoming a coffee roaster and owning her own coffee shop, Anny Ruth pivoted in 2012 to take over operations of the Loma La Gloria farm. Her father, Roberto, had purchased the land back in the 1990s and even built a mill on it. But when a coffee crisis struck, the mill was left abandoned, with Roberto selling the coffee cherries to local mills.

All that changed when Anny Ruth took over the reins. She rehabilitated, updated, and began running the mill, and has been exporting traceable, quality coffee directly ever since. Rich in volcanic soil and spanning ideal elevations for growing coffee (1200-1750 meters above sea level), Loma La Gloria grows Red Bourbon and Pacamara varietals–all of which are consistently delicious.

I recently took a trip out to Loma La Gloria and was blown away by some of the coffee coming out of this farm–some of which had been developed through magical-sounding processing methods I had never heard of before, like the “unicorn process”. Definitely a trip worth taking and a coffee worth sharing with all of you!
