Koyu

Koyu means dark, strong, or bold in Turkish. We designed the profile to allow the espresso flavor to hold its own within a 16oz Lamba Latte. It's also delicious on its own as espresso or filter.

Our partners at Beneficio San Vicente call this coffee Senderos. Spanish for paths, Senderos signifies the importance of exploration and new discoveries. 

Beneficio San Vicente, a family-owned and operated dry mill on the Santa Barbara Mountain, was founded by Fidel Paz Senior in the 70s. Fidel’s sons Benjamin and Fidel Jr, and nephew Arturo have since inherited the operation and carried the legacy forward by assisting the farmer cooperative to increase quality to a specialty coffee standard. 

Santa Barbara, Honduras, which grows arabica coffee exclusively, is now known as one of the leading regions in specialty coffee farming practices. The region generally produces chocolatey, fruity coffees with exquisite acidity and high-quality characteristics often found in varieties like Bourbon, Catuai, Caturra, Pacas and Typica. 

The farmers in this region consistently win top honors in the Cup of Excellence competitions, raising both their sphere of influence and awareness regarding cup quality.
