Research disclosure — this profile was compiled from public online sources on 2026-10-26. This company overview is not a tasting review. Original tasting reviews are labeled separately when they exist. Ownership, roasting and sourcing details are attributed to documented sources. While the brand mentions sourcing from Central America, South America, and Africa in some coverage, their website specifically lists Costa Rica, Brazil, and Mexico, and I could not verify specific farm names.
