Grown under the shade of native trees in the cloud forests of Oaxaca's Sierra Mazateca, this coffee comes from smallholder farmers in the rural community of San Juan Coatzospam. After harvest, the coffee is washed, fermented for 36 hours, and dried on raised beds. The result is a juicy, slightly fuller-bodied cup with notes of molasses, blackberry, graham cracker, fudge, and orange. Rich sweetness and dark fruit are balanced by a gentle citrus acidity for a smooth, satisfying finish.

Winfield and Joy Durham founded Sisters Coffee Company in 1989 in the small town of Sisters, Oregon, starting with a five pound roaster after discovering their love for coffee while working in Alaska in 1984. They became the first specialty roasters in Central Oregon. In 2017, three of their children, Justin, Jared, and Jesse, took over leadership, making it a true multi generational family operation. Sisters roasts over 270,000 pounds annually on a 25 kilogram Probat roaster and maintains direct trade relationships with producers, traveling to origin three to four times a year. They were the first U.S. roaster to purchase directly from Aurelio Villatoro's Finca Villaure in Guatemala in 2004, a relationship that continues today.
