  • About this Coffee: Central Ninth has been crafted to deliver a delightful taste when used for espresso, making it an excellent choice for espresso-based drinks. The first component consists of a community lot from the Cerrado Mineiro region in Brazil. Producers that make up this lot participate in a sustainability program named “LIFT.” This program was designed by Mercon Specialty and works directly with producers to provide agronomic assistance to help increase quality and productivity. The second component is a regional blend from El Salvador, that is crafted from nine producers in the Alotepec Matapan region. These coffee growers collaborate with Cafenor, a dry mill that is carbon neutral certified. This environmentally conscious dry mill harnesses solar and wind energy to power its operations. Our importing partner, Primavera Coffee, blended these lots to highlight a traditional Salvadoran profile, providing producers with a more favorable price for their coffees The third component is sourced from Honduras and is one of Mercon’s newest “LIFT” coffees. Finca El Roble sits between 1,525 and 1,625 meters above sea level in the Lempira area of western Honduras. Finca El Roble is owned by Adrian Castro, who pays special attention to the processing and drying techniques used for his coffees. His meticulous approach results in exceptional coffee quality.
