Grown at 1,500 meters altitude by 180 smallholder producers, this lot is processed using an anaerobic natural method. The cup profile is vibrant and expressive, featuring bright, juicy flavor notes of guava, fruit punch, and milk chocolate. It is a light roast coffee suitable for various brewing methods including espresso, pour over, and drip.
Deaton Pigot co founded Tectonic Coffee Co. in Los Angeles in 2016, drawing on over 25 years of experience in hospitality and coffee across Australia, Ireland, Singapore, and the United States. The roastery uses Loring Smart Roast machines with single burner recirculation technology that reduces energy consumption by roughly 80 percent compared to conventional drum roasters. Pigot visits coffee origins annually to build direct relationships with producers, and single origin selections rotate with an emphasis on traceability. Tectonic was a finalist in the 2020 Sprudge Sprudgie Awards for Notable Roaster and has won recognition at the U.S. Golden Bean Awards.
