Coffee Details

We are proud to work with young coffee producer Edin Lopez once again to offer you this limited micro-lot. Edin has experimented with planting and separating different varietals of coffee trees on his farm, including this SL-28 varietal. SL-28 was first cultivated in Kenya in the 1930s, but recently some enterprising coffee producers in Central America have had some good luck cultivating it. SL-28 has done well in the Santa Barbara growing region, which is the perfect micro-climate for coffee.
