Dark Sumatra Roast - Gaviña 

For our espresso drinks we are using the Dark Sumatra Roast from Gaviña.  We will also be offering a delicious breakfast blend for our brewed coffee.

Dark Sumatra Roast - This dark roast, made from whole beans, has a heavy body that makes this Indonesian specialty even more potent. 

Gaviña - Beginning with our dedication to selecting the best coffee available, and to offering it at a fair price, Gaviña provides the best coffee value in the business today.

It began over a hundred years ago with our ancestors, José María and Ramón Gaviña.  Seeking a better life, the two brothers left their homeland in the Basque region of Spain and traveled to the rich coffee-bearing soil of the southern Cuban mountains. It was on the productive land that their plantation, Hacienda Buenos Aires, began its reputation as the center of the region's coffee community.

Don Francisco also learned how to pick and dry the beans and slowly, over time, how to judge which were the very best quality and which were not. From that day to this, only the highest quality beans are ever chosen for roasting under the Gaviña

Today these same traditions live on in the Gaviña company. Don Francisco's four children - José, Leonor, Pedro, and "Paco" - who also grew up on the plantation, learned the art of growing coffee from their father. The company, now in America, reaps the benefits that come from this family's experience on their land.

Through selecting the finest beans from around the world, "cupping" each sample as it arrives, and making sure the roasting is perfect, the Gaviña's express their love of coffee.

It is rare, indeed, for a coffee to come from a family company that pioneered one of the early coffee plantations. It is even more rare to find a coffee company managed by people born and raised in the artful profession.
