About This Coffee

This coffee comes from the Don Joel Micromill in Costa Rica's West Valley region, owned by second-generation coffee grower Allan Oviedo. The 12-hectare farm is named after Allan's father, Joel Oviedo. This lot features the Maragogype variety, an Arabica coffee originally from Brazil known for its exceptionally large beans, often called "elephant beans." The coffee is processed using the White Honey method. After harvest, cherries are depulped and mechanically washed, then dried using a drum dryer. Grown at altitudes between 1250-1380 meters, this coffee offers a juicy and complex cup with flavor notes of green grape, yellow plum, and apple blossom, characterized by bright acidity, silky sweetness, and floral, fruity notes.

Seth Taylor Coffee

Seth Taylor put his own name on this Montreal micro roastery, establishing a personal, hands on approach that extends from direct relationships with producers to origin travel and intimate cuppings. Starting as a pop up before settling in Mile End, the operation remains deliberately small, with limited production runs that prioritize quality over volume. Roasting is done in small batches with light to medium profiles showcasing origins from Ethiopia, Colombia, Guatemala, Kenya, and El Salvador. The roastery primarily operates as a production facility rather than a bustling cafe, supplying select Montreal specialty cafes through a focused wholesale program. A subscription service with personalized selections reflects Seth's belief that coffee is best when it carries the personal touch of someone who genuinely cares about every step.
