Finca Los Bellotos is a magical spot high in the mountains. Nearby the Santa Ana volcano, it's misty with a cool Pacific breeze, overlooking Lake Coatepeque. Home to the rare Bernardina variety, it offers even more. The highest tablon is ‘Gato Cervantes', after the Civet cats native to the area. Here Pacas family grows Bernardina and Red Bourbon. Double-fermented for 48 hours then submerged for 24 hours, this coffee is dried on a patio. Manager Ruperto Bernardino Merche believes the magic of Los Bellotos makes the coffee unique. Wild and tropical, with a marzipan sweetness.
Proud Mary has been working with most of its incredible pool of producers for over a decade now —
pushing boundaries of what's possible in a Roaster / Producer partnerships. Working together means so much more than the transaction of buying coffee for Proud Mary, it means growing together and involving the producer in that growth every step of the way.
