This fresh-faced and juicy coffee is perfect for summer; like biting into a crisp apple! Über balanced and complex, this coffee is saturated in sugars: praline, maple, fig, pear and stone fruit. Elegant floral notes reward your patience as this coffee cools, revealing white grape acidity and a sparkling, almost effervescent finish of honey and cinnamon sugar.

El Tambor means ‘the drum’, and refers to the sound of water rumbling over an historical underground waterfall on this 450-acre farm. Founded in 1930 as a cattle ranch, coffee was planted starting in 1966. Mining was active on the farm until Victor Calderon successfully challenged the mining company and ceased mining activities. Victor continues to actively rehabilitate the land by securing dangerous open shafts and planting coffee in former mining areas. Most of the farm is old Bourbon, Typica and Caturra coffee plants, and broad swaths of land are maintained as natural forest. Honey and avocados are produced, and 10% of the farm is set aside for the farm’s workers to plant food crops such as black beans and corn. Other projects such as home construction, fish farming and the provision of one cow per family are implemented by the Calderon family. If the hardwork and dedication of Victor Calderon and his team are any indication, we’re sure to be enjoying some extremely delicious coffee for many years to come!
