Additional Info

We (and you) loved this coffee so much last season, that we upped our volume commitment to the producer for a third straight year. We roast this coffee on lighter side of the roast spectrum to preserve all of the delicious sweetness and acidity, but this coffee is not too delicate to be a daily drinker. If you are used to a more "medium" roast level, we think you will still really enjoy this coffee. A crowd pleasing every day drinker when prepared hot, but also one of our absolute favorite coffees when iced! 

The Contreras family has been farming coffee on the volcanic slopes of Monte Verde for 5 generations, collecting almost 100 years of family coffee experience. The 36-hectare farm is only 93km from the capital city of San Salvador, outside the smaller city of Santa Ana. The mill employs 30 men year-round, then up to 150 men and women during the peak harvest season.

The current owner-farmer Rene Contreras, has worked closely with our import partners over the years to improve quality control and processes. Rene and his family are deeply invested in their community, as his wife is a doctor who provides health care locally. We love this coffee for its milk chocolate sweetness and pleasing acidity.

Wonderful coffee

This is a very nice coffee and it’s so easy to order from Speedwell. I would like more of a blueberry taste like Speedwell used to sell.

The BEST

Best coffee EVER. I had a cup of Speedwell Nor'Easter back in 2024 in Cape Cod. I never forgot it. Finally bought 5 pounds of it this year and I am beside myself. Yum yum yum!!

It's bold, with a smooth flavor profile, has a more pronounced crema which I enjoy,.. highly recommended.

A True Bargain

I don't indulge in elaborate reviews that go into specific flavors. I think this is reasonably smooth, some bright fruit tartness and is well balanced.

To make this simple: If this were the only coffee I had to drink for the rest of my life, I would be a happy man. And at this price, it is a super bargain.

Big fan

This is my favorite. Easy drinking…nice flavor. Has the right amount of roasting and flavor for me—not bitter like starbucks. Closer to a dunkin w way more flavor! I tried a 1 lb bag and now we buy the 5 lb bag regularly.

herbaceous, but not tea like

Central/South American tends to be our go to, however the Kayon Mountain is a pleasant departure from bolder (chocolate and plum) flavors. What can be challenging about African blends is they often carry heavy floral notes that can come across as sour. This has a nuanced profile that we have enjoyed as a drip or pour over. It is sweet, but still provides lingering notes (~caramel) that provide a satisfying cup.
