We've partnered with the Solis family since they first established their own micromill in 2020, and are honored to bring their coffee to you every year since! Mayra Solis' father gifted each of her children part of his farm, and Mayra received the parcel at the top of the ridge, earning the name Alto el Vapor (Above the Clouds). Together with her children they have expanded both production and quality, while still acting as stewards of the land.
The Patio Natural process is a novel one that first brought their coffee to our attention. Cherries are hand picked at peak ripeness, then laid out on a covered patio to ferment before being moved to raised beds and turned frequently throughout drying. The resulting coffee has pronounced strawberry and fruit notes, silky texture, and incredible candy sweetness!
