Why some details are blank
  • farm and producerRed Bird names Hacienda La Minita only as the sourcing and milling partner; contributing farms and farmers are not published.
  • varietyThe exact Red Bird page states 100% Arabica but does not disclose cultivars.
  • process, fermentation and dryingThe exact product page does not publish these details.
  • altitude mOnly a broad regional range of 4,000–6,500 feet is published, so no invented midpoint is stored.
  • independent sentimentNo independently attributable review of this exact Red Bird release was found.

From the producer

Hacienda La Minita is identified as the sourcing and milling partner, not as the verified farm or individual producer. The contributing farms and farmers are not named.

From the roaster

Red Bird Coffee is a family-owned roastery based in Bozeman, Montana, that emphasizes small-batch roasting and quality sourcing.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

La Magnolia offers a classic clean, floral Tres Ríos profile and unusually practical brewing guidance, but its farm-level traceability remains limited. The broad published elevation belongs to the regional selection and is not converted into a single midpoint.

The honest process breakdown

What was added?

No flavoring is disclosed.

What wasn't added?

No individual farms, producers, varieties, wet process, fermentation or drying method are published for this exact regional selection.

Why it matters
