ORIGIN STORY: It's quite astonishing that Silvestre Velásquez has only been cultivating coffee for eight years. At his coffee farm, Rancho Las Vegas, he started by experimenting to find which coffee bush varieties would flourish best. He discovered that the farm’s location near a picturesque river and its nutrient-rich clay loam soil contributed to the success of almost all coffee grown there! Achieving such high quality in such a brief period is uncommon, yet Silvestre remains dedicated to his journey of learning.
THE FLAVOURS: For more than two hundred years, people have been enjoying bitter dark roasts, and it feels somewhat negligent to overlook this tradition. Although Shady Lane is not a burnt, dark roast, it represents a fresh approach to roasting aimed at achieving mild acidity. Anticipate flavors of creamy spiced chocolate accompanied by notes of vanilla and dried apricot.
