From the producer

The Echavarría family grows the coffee at Finca Lomaverde, the largest and highest of Santa Bárbara Estate's five farms. The family's Pergamino operation handles dry milling, export, roasting, and cafés.

From the roaster

Partners Coffee is a Brooklyn-based roaster committed to sourcing quality coffee through direct relationships, paying fair prices, and ensuring security within their supply chain.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This seasonal release shows one high-elevation Chiroso through two traditional processes, natural and washed, rather than combining unrelated origins.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Separate natural component

One 100% Chiroso component from Finca Lomaverde was natural processed.

02
Separate washed component

A second 100% Chiroso component from the same farm was washed processed.

03
Roasted and blended

Partners roasted the components for the 2026 seasonal Block Party blend; exact percentages are not disclosed.

What was added?

No fruit, flavoring, starter culture, or other additive is disclosed.

What wasn't added?

Component percentages, fermentation durations, drying methods, and lot-specific harvest dates are not published.

Why it matters

The coffee is accurately represented as a mixed-process blend without forcing one process tag onto both components.

What you might taste

Strawberry, apple, honeycomb, fresh berries, watermelon, Pink Lady apple, caramelized sugar, and in cold brew, nectarine, vanilla, and fudge pop.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-10-25) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

Non-exact, seller, directory, generic-roaster, different-release, duplicate, and older-release sources were excluded. No qualifying independent exact-release review remains.

Until then, meet the people behind it:

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
