COE出品時の彼らの言葉です。『60年以上前、私の祖父クリストバルが初めてコーヒーを植えた場所が現在のSan Cristobal農園です。こうしてコーヒーへの愛が始まり、この伝統は世代から世代へと広がりました。
私たちは、私たちのコーヒーの品質が非常に良いことを知っています。だからこそプロセスをより良くするための小さなマイクロミルを開設し、このコーヒーが高品質であると認められ私たちの努力が報われることを求め、私たちが愛するもののために働き、戦い続けることができるのです。
-More than 60 years ago my grandfather Cristobal planted coffee for the first time in which nowadays is the Finca San Cristobal. This is how the love of coffee begins and this tradition has spread from generation to generation.
We know that our coffee has a very good quality. Which is why with a lot of effort we opened a small micro mill to improve processes and seek that our coffee be recognized as high quality and that all of our effort be rewarded so that we can continue working and fighting for what we love-』
レモンやライムの爽やかな柑橘類や青リンゴを感じ、後味や温度が下がるにつれ顔を出してくるブラックチェリーやブドウ、パイナップルや僅かな焼き栗の甘さがとてもクリーンでありながら複雑さを持つ品質の高い一杯であると証明してくれています。後味にグリーンティーやハチミツのフレーバーも感じます。
