Seven years ago Eric was roasting in his garage and selling coffee out of the back of his 91 Ford F-150. The first coffee that he bought a full 69 kilo bag was from a group of farmers in Colombia called the Los Naranjos. Since that time we have continued to buy coffee and support the Los Naranjos. For this harvest Eric and Charlie joined Cafe Imports to cup and taste the coffees of the Los Naranjos to score and rank them. Farmers received a higher premium for their ranking. After a couple days of tasting, the coffees were ranked and Eric and Charlie purchased the 1st place coffee from Jaime Burbano in collaboration with our good friends at Wild Gift Coffee in Austin, TX. Jaime will receive $7 a pound for his coffee. The Los Naranjos have been producing amazing coffees for us since the very beginning. We couldn’t be more excited to be involved and supportive on this intimate level. ... See MoreSee Less

Mary Cielo Salazar Soto! We found her! Three years ago at the auction where Eric and Charlie met Gabriel Munoz they also met Mary. It has been a struggle to get her coffee again but with the help of Banexport and Café Imports they found her farm and Duluth Coffee will be getting her coffee again! Mary is a true coffee pro operating a 6 hectare farm primarily planted with the Castillo varietal. She has a fiery personality and a loving heart. In this next harvest all of her lots will be separated as we work to purchase multiple levels of quality from her farm to support the full sustainability of her work. Mary’s loving heart wants her family and neighbors to all benefit from our relationship. Mary’s sister gave Eric and Charlie a sample from the end of this harvest. After a day of tasting dozens of coffees blind it stood out as the best! We have purchased it and are excited to begin working again with this family. Great things to come from these beautiful and driven women. ... See MoreSee Less
