Description: "Finca Santa Teresa is blessed with rich black volcanic soil, a high altitude location, and favorable weather patterns associated with both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans; this results in coffees of singular quality. The Finca is located along a series of beautiful valleys and ridges, which create a variety of micro-climates and give individuality to each of their lots.

The Finca is located at 1400-1800m, and live barriers, streams, and broad sections of virgin forest interspace the coffee planting. Squirrel monkeys and many of the 600 species of birds in the area are often seen in and around the Finca. Adjacent to the farm is the La Amistad International Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site jointly managed by Panama and neighboring Costa Rica. FST operates a best practice approach to all of its activities."

MICRO ROASTED EACH SUNDAY MORNING IN SMALL 22-POUND BATCHES: Soon, he invested in 3 Probat P12 high-tech digital roasting technologies from Probat Roasters, which offers the highest quality small-batch Coffee roasters. These machines allow him to roast small batches of each coffee we need for that day. The advantage is that we can roast as little as 18 pounds, yielding around 14 pounds of coffee per cycle. This means we will never roast more coffee than is needed to fill orders for the day. Giving you an incredibly fresh coffee roasted only after an order is placed. This means you will get the freshest coffee possible, still warm, as it is bagged and shipped to you while they are still warm from our roaster.

Every Sunday morning, we start roasting at 4:00 a.m. I light our Probat roasters to roast only the coffees ordered that same day. Yes, we take our coffee seriously, in fact, very seriously. Small batch is more expensive because it limits the amount of coffee we can roast in one day. Still, this roasting technique ensures that each batch of coffee Beansis is superior in quality and is roasted evenly to the desired roast profile, not mass-produced produces-produced beans. It draws the best possible flavor in each batch. Small batch roasting permits a higher quality of standards in coffee throughout the process, from choosing the correct charge & drop temperature to slowly roasting each small batch to perfection.

All Our Coffees Are Packaged in Bags That Are Nitrogen Flushed. Nitrogen is an odorless and tasteless gas that is heavier than oxygen. It is typically used in the food industry because it reduces the staling process. Since nitrogen has no smell or taste, it won't compromise the quality of the coffee's taste, but it will ensure its freshness for an extended period. When paired with our one-way values on our coffee bags, it will keep your coffee and roasted coffee fresh for months. This is a time-consuming process & adds to the cost of our coffee in both bags and labor, but we think it is worth it because most people only drink around a 1/2 to 3/4 of a pound of coffee a week.
