Miravalles is a coffee produced by Luis Duarte in Apaneca, a region famous for its volcanic soils and ideal climate for high-quality coffees. This lot—named Cayetano in honor of the great-grandfather who started the farm in the 1940s—displays a sweet, clean, and velvety profile, marked by notes of milk chocolate, red fruits, cinnamon, orange, and caramel.

The farm stands out for its biodiversity: centuries-old trees, flowers carpeting the paths, and a vibrant ecosystem that Luis actively protects. This rich environment is reflected in the cup, offering a harmonious and nuanced coffee.

The washed process highlights the clarity and natural sweetness of the Marsellesa varietal, grown between 1,290 and 1,600 meters, where the combination of altitude and shade allows for slow and even ripening. The result is an approachable, balanced, and deeply aromatic coffee, ideal for both espresso and filter brewing.
