July Green Coffee Outlook: Central America Roundup

Incoming containers from El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Guatemala just hit our shores, with more behind them. Here’s a look at what to expect.

So far this month, we’ve seen the arrival of containers from Central America, signaling the start of what will be a continuous flow of coffee through the Summer, and beyond. While this may just be the beginning, preparing the current batch of coffees to replenish our list is enough to keep us busy through August! Below is an overview of the first coffees to highlight in our Central America roundup.

El Salvador Arrivals

Once again it was our El SalvadorEl Salvador coffee had an undeservingly poor reputation for years, marred mostly by the inability to deliver coffee of high quality in an unstable political climate. Unfortunately, agriculture... coffees that arrived first, but only by a few days. We expected them a little sooner as they tend to ship early, but a shortage of 20′ shipping containers pushed things back by a couple of weeks. All of the coffees in this container are from the Duarte family farms, including several varietal separations from Miravalles, a Dry ProcessDry process coffee is a method for taking the fruit from the tree to an exportable green bean.

San Luis, and a tiny lot of BourbonA coffee cultivar; a cross between Typica and Bourbon, originally grown in Brazil: Mundo Novo is a commercial coffee cultivar; a natural hybrid between "Sumatra" and Red Bourbon,... from their newly revitalized farm, San Miguel.

This is the 4th year we’ve bought coffee from the Duarte’s, and their focus on improving quality is apparent each time we visit them. When I was there earlier this year they were in the process of pruning large parts of Miravalles that were in need of revitalization. A full restoration of Finca San Miguel was also underway, the original family farm that had all but been abandoned. The farm still has some very old Bourbon trees producing coffee, but most of the plants are going to be pruned, and replanted with new, and different varieties (including Bourbon). They managed to produce 5 bags from the old Bourbon, which we bought, and expect to expand their offers from San Miguel when the new plantings produce in a few years.

Day to day operations fall under the care of Luis Duarte Jr., though his father is always close behind. Luis Sr. has worked in coffee his whole life, and I just get the feeling that whether it’s renovations, or looking for ways to improve their processingThe removal of the cherry and parchment from the coffee seed.: Coffee is either wet-processed (also called washed or wet-milled) or dry-processed (also called wild, natural or natural..., working in the field with his son is his livelihood!

Miravalles is their largest farm, and makes up the bulk of this year’s selections. They put a lot of effort into segregating coffee varieties into different plots on the farm, which allows them to harvest them separately. This also provides us with a unique opportunity to put together a very diverse box of varietyA botanical variety is a rank in the taxonomic hierarchy below the rank of species and subspecies and above the rank of form (form / variety / subspecies... separations, such as Bourbon, CaturraCatimor is a broad group of cultivars derived from a Hibrido de Timor (HdT) and Caturra cross, highly productive, sometimes with inferior cup flavor.

Nicaragua Arrivals

We are very pleased with the quality of this year’s Nicaraguan coffees from Cafetalera Buenos Aires, and at 14 lots, I believe we set a personal record for number of individual coffees in a single NicaraguaNicaraguan coffees from the Segovia, Jinotega, Ocotal and Matagalpa regions are nice balanced cups. They often possess interesting cup character along with body and balance, outperforming many other... container! Breaking out so many different individual lots isn’t always necessary, or even possible. It requires more work for the exporter, and often not worth the extra effort.

Buenos Aires is not only willing to make these kinds of separations, but they encourage it! They process small batches of some of the more “exotic” varieties they grow, as well as honeys and naturals (dry process). Managing the bite-size chunks allows them to isolate different qualities, ultimately deciding which coffees should be featured on their own, while others are bulked together in blends.

Most of their farms are located in Dipilto, right along the border with HondurasHonduran coffee was absent from the top ranks of the Specialty market, but that has changed. It has all the environmental factors on its side: soil, altitude, climate..... The mountain peaks in this part of Nicaragua reach upwards of 1600 meters. Acopio Suyatal used to be their highest farm (1500 meters), but their newest plot, Los Alpes, holds that title at 1600 meters. We have a small lot of CaturraCaturra is an Arabica cultivar discovered as a natural mutant of Bourbon in Brazil in the first decade of the 20th century,  but wasn't studied until 1937. It... from Los Alpes this year, as well as two 66 lb. bags of their award-winning Gesha (dry process and wet process).

Guatemala Arrivals

The last arrival to mention is from GuatemalaGuatemalan coffee is considered a top quality coffee producer in Central America. Due to our proximity to Guatemala, some of the nicest coffees from this origin come to.... This is our first of 4 containers, and from an exporter in Antigua who we’ve been buying from for more than 15 years. An important distinction to make about this particular exporter, is that they are also coffee farmers, owning and managing several Antiguan estates, like Pulcal, Cabrejo, La Folie, and more. The coffees from these farms have become the basis of what we often refer to as “Antiguan flavors”. Yes, we made that up. But in-house, this term is shorthand for coffees with refined sweetnessSweetness is an important positive quality in fine coffees, and is one of five basic tastes: Sour, Sweet, Salty, Bitter, Savory (Umami). In coffee, sweetness is a highly..., ultra clean cupClean cup refers to a coffee free of taints and defects.

It adds a brilliance to the cup, whereas low acid coffees can seem... that sparklesSparkles are often found in bright coffees. Hint: if you look at the cup of coffee and it winks at you, it has sparkles.: Sparkles is a key....

This first box contained coffees from all of the aforementioned farms, as well as many others that we buy annually. One of the stars of this initial lineup is a 36 bag Gesha lot from Acatenango. In addition, we received our first lots from Patzun (La Florida and Camelias), San Martin Jilotepeque, and a tiny 5 bag lot from Melanie Herrera (“Finca Melanie”), whose coffee has become a favorite around here and will be available in about two weeks!

Huehuetenango coffees are still about a month away from arriving, which includes the small producer coffees that are part of our “Proyecto Xinabajul“. The harvest in Huehue is generally a little later than Antigua, especially in the higher altitude zones where the climate can be very cold. This year was particularly frigid, and even saw frost in areas such as La Libertad. We even encountered a hail storm during our March visit while at Aguacatones farm, just outside of Huehuetenango town. Thankfully, most of the cherries had already been harvested from the trees, so damage was mostly avoided.

Despite these challenges, the harvest numbers in Huehuetenango were a little better than last year, and the quality of this year’s coffees is stellar. We managed to get the first box on the water earlier this month, but unfortunately, with all the congestion at West Coast ports, the fastest route was through Houston. ETA to Oakland is currently August 12, and we’re keeping our eyes out for any updates along the way.

New crop Guatemalan coffees available August 14th on Sweet Maria’s and Coffee Shrub

It’s been a tough year for logistics, and Latin America was not spared. Our shipments from Costa RicaCosta Rican coffee is typically very clean, sweet, with lots of floral accents. hey are prized for their high notes: bright citrus or berry-like flavors in the acidity,... saw the biggest delays, mainly due to a shortage of 20′ shipping containers that was the result of a bottleneck at the PanamaPanama coffee ranges from medium quality lower altitude farms to those at 1600 - 1800 meters centered in the area of Boquete in the Chirqui district near the... Canal. Low water levels in the canal drastically reduced the amount of daily traffic through this major thoroughfare, and meant fewer containers being emptied at the destination ports. In our case, we wound up opting for a 40′ container instead, which is supposed to land by the end of this week.

For now, we have plenty of new crop Centrals on hand, including wet and dry process coffees from El Salvador, Gesha from Nicaragua, Guatemala, and several others. Watch out for our weekly newsletter where we will announce these additions, and more.

Check out the full list below of contracted coffees and ETA’s below.

Please keep in mind that names may change when we list the coffee on our website. Location status of “In Transit” are also a bit of a wild card, as logistical disruptions are out of our control! You also may notice some of the coffees from last month’s list have disappeared. These have likely arrived in the US, and await being added to our launch schedule. Thanks for your patience!
