A few years back, one of Pablo's washed gesha lots won The Cup of Excellence!

For some of you, Pablo Guerrero might be a familiar name, as we used to purchase and share his incredible gesha selections. What's great for Pablo is that a few years back, one of his washed gesha lots won The Cup of Excellence! The fact that he won was not a big surprise and we were really happy for him and this accomplishment. But we also knew that this might mean access to future gesha lots would be harder to come by, which they were, and that's OK.

So when we recently had the opportunity to revisit some of his other offerings, we were happy to taste a yellow bourbon that was absolutely delish! Now we are super stoked to welcome back Pablo and share this sugary gem with you!

Fresh off the grind the aromatics are wonderfully sweet and floral. The bourbon variety in general is known for its sweetness, and this particular lot exhibits this so beautifully in every sip! Add to this an elegant body wrapped around flavor notes of silver needles and juicy clementine and lets just say we will be drinking our fair share here at Sweet Bloom. We don't have a lot, so grab a bag quick!

1Spot purchase

“Spot” is coffee in an importer’s inventory they have not sold. When we need to fill gaps in our contractual and relationship purchases, we buy spot. Of course, we are always open to spot becoming relationship purchases, and sometimes they do.

2Contract purchase

Most of our purchases are contractual, meaning we have made a commitment to purchase the coffee before it arrives in the US. In general contracts are meant to build security for the producer and importer, and to help us make sure we have the coffee we need to share with you.

3Repeat purchase

We are proud of the fact that many of the coffees we purchase are repeat purchases, and have been for years. Most producers, especially from Central and South America, can count on us purchasing their coffee year after year.

4Visits

We’ve met, and have an ongoing relationship with the producer. At a minimum, they have visited us at Sweet Bloom, or we have visited them on the farm. As the relationship deepens, we build our understanding of:

1) challenges faced from one year to the next
2) sustainability practices on the farm
3) how the farmer is caring for their staff
4) ways in which we can support projects the farmers have implemented on the farm and in the community
