To say we love coffees is an understatement—each cup is vibrant, juicy, and downright delicious. Traditional varietals like Caturra also hold a special place in our hearts, and this current lot from Lino brings the best of both worlds together.

Linarco’s family have been farming in the Palestina municipality of Huila Department, Colombia for three generations. Two years ago, we asked if Lino could try a natural Caturra process for us. He said that he could do it but suggested that he include an anaerobic fermentation as he thought that would result in a more impactful cup profile. The result was a beautiful coffee that showcased everything we love about Caturras. This year we asked Lino to make another lot for us and once again he produced a beautiful Caturra that we can’t get enough of!

This coffee from is tradition through and through. Traditional varieties, traditionally processed, with a cup profile that is clean and bright, backed by tropical fruits and carried by underlying florals.

It’s a kind of coffee that is becoming increasingly rare to see on many menus, and one that not so surprisingly took out one of the top spots in the Guatemala One of a Kind category.

Very limited amounts! Enjoy!

An afternoon delight!

Coffees from Panama consistently rank among some of the most coveted and awarded in all the coffee world. In 2024 the Hartmann family partnered with renowned Colombian producer Diego Samuel Bermudez Tapia to create the Hachi Project – a project dedicated to fusing tradition and science to maximize what they consider the genetic expression within each coffee.

The Guarumo Farm is a living research farm where Hachi is testing innovative plant management techniques such as micrografting, biostimulant applications, selective pruning cycles, and new varietal research, all with an eye on ensuring coffee’s sustainable future. The coffee in the Hatsuka Lot 169 is such an example – Chicho Gallo is a hybrid between Amaro Gayo (an Ethiopian landrace variety) and the famed Hartmann Geisha varietal.

A damn good coffee to start and end each day with!

Back from one of many visits to the team in El Salvador, and visiting El Manzano, La Cumbre, and Ayutepeque.

We’ve partnered with Odyssey since our first year of business, and they’ve been a strong foundation of our blends and single origin offerings.

We’ve also been joint them on their Growing Together Projects, and so far, we’ve helped fund and provide eyesight care and school books in in the surrounding community, and clean water access by pumping water from a spring at Las Isabellas to the nearby community of Monte Sagrado.

Big love 🫶🇸🇻

Duverney Cifuentes is well known in Colombia for his outstanding coffees, regularly placing in the Best of Tolima competition, Colombia Tierra de Diversidad auction, and the Cup of Excellence competition, which he won first place in 2023. However, outside of Colombia his coffee is still relatively unknown, primarily because of the difficulty of getting his coffee to the international market. His farm is located high up in the mountains outside of the small town of Gaitania, Tolima, in an area that has historically been – and continues to be – heavily influenced by FARC adjacent guerilla groups. Duverney speaks passionately about dealing with the guerrilla groups, helping his father as a child on his farm, and the struggles he and his family have faced in trying to grow coffee and get it to market.

To get the coffees up to his wet mill, Duverney has implemented an ingenious cable cart system called a Garrucha. Once up the steep mountainside, they’re ready for further processing!

It’s a pretty special feeling being able to showcase his beautiful coffees on our menu – and not only this stunning lot, but also the two more that are to come – all packed with delicate tropical fruit-like flavors, underlying floral character, and a smooth and syrupy mouthfeel.

We’ve recently returned from some visits to partners and friends in Guatemala and El Salvador, and it’s nothing shy of a treat.

One of the visits in Guatemala was to La Tormenta – the final house and farm at the end of a long winding road before you enter the Sierra de las Minas bio reserve, a UNEACO recognized site, and Guatemala’s largest cloud forest.

Due to the almost constant cloud cover, shade trees, and slope and aspect where the trees grow, cherries ripen particularly slowly here. It’s one of the last locations in the region to begin harvesting each year. And, all this makes for some very sweet and dense coffees.

Roberto and Ana are experts in processing these coffees and now have a handful of deserved awards under their belt and visiting them has been a highlight of each year. Looking forward to a second year of featuring them on the menu!

This current Honey processed Geisha on our menu of comes from the Piedra Grande lot at Finca Betania, which sits at the top of the farm, at 1900m. To get there, you follow a small two track path from the back of his house up through lush coffee and fruit trees, reaching a high point with expansive views of Linarco’s farm and the greater Palestina area. Here the Geisha plants thrive under mixed shade on steep northeast facing slopes.

After harvesting, Lino sorts the coffee before sealing it in drums for 24hr, and then pulps the cherries. Pulped coffee is returned to clean barrels for another 48hr and then finally spread in layers for drying on covered patios. The coffee is beautifully clean in the cup, with all the signature notes expected from Finca Betania; Blackcurrant, Blood Orange, Grapefruit, and an underlying floral character that carries it all.

Last weeks of Ana and Roberto’s beautiful lactic washed Villa Sarchi, from Finca La Tormenta, in El Progreso, Guatemala.

This breathtaking farm sits high up in a cloud forest surrounded by pines right up next to the Sierra de las Minas Biosphere Reserve. To get there, you drive through a desert, and then shoot up to 1,800m, climbing 1,500m over the span of about half an hour or so.

Ana and Roberto are truly noteworthy producers, ones we’re excited to have return to Idle Hands again later this year with the 2026 harvest.

Excited to visit to them (and our dear friend David at Finca Batres) next month!
