We\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e have featured coffees from several members of this storied family on our menu - including Yerin and his siblings, and also their father, Pedro. Over the last decade or so, Pedro has been dividing his many farms amongst his children for them to continue shepherding the family legacy. El Carreto is one such plot of land, gifted to Yerin by his father and home to this very special SL-28 lot.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt HCOE back in May of this year, one of our owners (Kyle) and our head roaster (Matt) had the privilege of spending time with the Sagastume brothers and cupping their coffees at origin. This was his third time competing at HCOE, and Yerin took #28 at the event. Though he is thrilled for this placement and aware of his steady improvement over the last few years, Yerin remains focused on \"making the podium\" at HCOE soon - and ultimately besting his big brother in doing so.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRUST THE PROCESS |\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe seeds which yielded the coffee trees that produced this lot were transported from Kenya to Honduras, and the resultant fruit maintains much of that characteristic Kenyan SL-28 variety. After being picked at peak ripeness, the coffee cherries were hand-sorted for quality and placed directly on raised beds for drying, until optimal moisture content was achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTAKE A SIP | \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePerhaps the loveliest thing about this coffee is its ability to showcase high fermentation impact while maintaining a vibrant acidity like orange zest, thanks in part to the SL-28 variety itself. It's really, really fruity - with notes like blueberry, tart cherry, and chocolate-covered strawberry taking center stage. Big and intense, but still notably sweet, sipping this coffee reminds us of enjoying port wine and red sangria. \u003cem\u003eCheers.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8\"\u003e___________________________________________________________________________\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin |\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSanta Barbara, Honduras\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer |\u003c\/strong\u003e Yerin Sagastume\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFarm |\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e El Carreto\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess |\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety |\u003c\/strong\u003e SL-28\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElevation |\u003c\/strong\u003e 1550 masl\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black \u0026 White Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"100g","offer_id":50254591263033,"sku":"BWSO-PaG-2810","price":18.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12oz","offer_id":50254591295801,"sku":"BWSO-PaG-2812","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2988\/2574\/files\/YerinSagastumeCOE28_online_4x_97ebbde3-4c26-400b-9229-552910a33a8f.png?v=1734578167","url":"https:\/\/www.blackwhiteroasters.mom\/products\/r-yerin-sagastume-coe-28","provider":"Black \u0026 White Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
