El Pedregal

Single Estate

Grown by The Menodza family
El Pedregal

From their high-altitude Finca El Pedregal, Nancy Mendoza and her family have produced a truly captivating coffee. Careful cultivation and a deep understanding of fermentation result in a cup that is both complex and beautifully clean. Elegant florals lead into layers of coconut, vanilla, and lychee, supported by subtle spice notes and a delicate touch of lemongrass. Equally stunning as a pour-over, espresso, or iced coffee, this is a coffee that continues to reveal new dimensions with every brew.
