ROASTER'S NOTES:

We are very excited to once again offer one of our favorite coffees and longest lasting relationships: Finca El Valle. Having struggled with the effects of leaf rust for several years, farm renovations are now taking root, and for the first time in a while, enough coffee was produced to create a special lot for export.

The area of Antigua, Guatemala is renowned for its lush, young volcanic soils, and ability to produce exemplary coffee. This coffee is a fully washed bourbon variety, and is meticulously processed at both the wet mill and dry mill levels.

Rigoberto and his three sons Luis, Pablo, and Jose have continued the family coffee-growing tradition after Cristina passed away in 2019. Now in their fourth generation, we at Dancing Goats® Coffee have considered the Gonzalez family not just coffee suppliers and partners, but also true friends. We are delighted to have this special coffee back in our lineup for the foreseeable future.
