George Howell Coffee · Daterra Sundrop Medium, Brazil The owner of Daterra, Luis Pascoal, is a key coffee visionary in the quality movement who never tires of tweaking everything he does to improve his coffees and social/environmental policies. Daterra was the first farm in the world to package its raw coffees in sealed packages, preserving its coffee’s subtle nuances over the long oceanic journey to our shores. Daterra is always innovating and keeping growing concerns, such as climate change, in mind. From planting 150,000 native trees throughout the farm, to composting 14,000 tons of organic matter, to working on establishing corridors to allow the natural passage of wildlife easily throughout the vast farmland, their attention is fixed on sustainability in the face of climate change. Daterra was the first coffee farm in the world to receive The Rainforest Alliance Certification Level A, their highest designation, in 2018. The farm goes above and beyond every year to achieve sustainability through its practices. Technology and consistent innovations help contribute to its ecosystem, protecting the Cerrado Bioma of Brazil, the second most important hotspot in the world. Natural processing is traditional for regions with a dry climate, such as Brazil, and our roasts of Daterra aim to highlight their sweetness and nuanced fruit notes. For Sundrop, Daterra allowed the cherries to go one step past full maturation while staying on the trees. The coffee was then dried the rest of the way on raised beds until stabilized and ready for hulling. Absorption of starches throughout the drying process yields a full-bodied cup.  b2b wholesale_list

George Howell Coffee · Gesha Village Estate Lot 47, Ethiopia A new year and a new lot from the famed Gesha Village Estate! Gesha Village is the extraordinary project of Adam Overton and Rachel Samuel. It is located just a few miles from the Gesha variety’s birthplace in the Gori Gesha forest. We’ve been sourcing from them since 2017. Their coffees have consistently stood out for their purity, elegance, and radiant florals. Lot 47 shows us why we continue to work with farmers who do not compromise on quality. Despite this year’s harvest being one of the most difficult due to weather that largely reduced yields, the coffee sparkles. The lush cup unfolds with white grape mixed with tangerine and traces of jasmine. It’s concentrated, sweet, and intense - a testament to the place, perseverance, and craft of Gesha Village. b2b limited

George Howell Coffee · La Esmeralda Tumaco, Panama In 2004, La Esmeralda and the Peterson family introduced the world to the exquisite Panamanian Geisha, forever changing the landscape of specialty coffee. Since then, their coffees have captured hearts and awards alike, culminating in a historic moment at the 2025 Best of Panama auction where La Esmeralda took first place in every single category, securing a historic Triple Crown victory with the highest scores ever recorded.  This year, we were offered a very special lot directly from La Esmeralda: Tumaco. This coffee was not included in this year’s auction so we feel very fortunate to have it. Tumaco not only comes from one of the most celebrated farms in the world, but the quality is outstanding. Esmeralda has set the global standard for clarity, elegance, and unforgettable florals. In the cup, Tumaco shines with violet, raspberry, and wildflower honey, along with vibrant notes of mango, jasmine, and honeysuckle. We have only two roasts of this lot - once it's gone, it's gone!  b2b wholesale_list

George Howell Coffee · Hejrat Al Ain, Yemen Balancing motherhood and farming, Katibah Jafar has spent over 20 years mastering coffee cultivation in Hejrat Al Ain, Oman. Her lot, which placed #18 in the Best of Yemen, comes from 500 trees on terraced slopes and offers effervescent notes of cherry blossom, vanilla, and ripe mango. b2b limited

George Howell Coffee · Al-Manshiya, Yemen Among all the Yemeni lots we bought this year, Al-Manshiya is easily the loudest. This coffee knocked us back the moment we tasted it. Peach blossom, candied-cranberry, hints of floral, and honeyed-sweetness overflows from the cup, with a clarity and intensity we haven’t experienced many times. And with a roast we absolutely nailed, every vibrant note comes through with precision. It is grown in Ans, Dhamar, Yemen, on high-elevation terraced farms (1,900–2,100m) where centuries of farming heritage, resilient families, and traditional methods yield coffee shaped by mountainous terrain and limited water resources. A rare Kent variety, historically identified in India but genetically rooted in Yemen’s early Typica Bourbon lineage, it transformed here through the advanced Alchemy XCI process, a layered progression of aerobic, carbonic maceration, and anaerobic fermentations followed by ultra-slow drying. Selected for the prestigious 90+ Series, this lot is a breathtaking fusion of heritage, innovation, and expressive flavor. If you have the opportunity, we strongly recommend trying all four Yemeni coffees we purchased this year to experience the full rainbow of flavors Yemen has to offer. No other coffee-growing country produces profiles quite like these, and this past harvest was one of the most remarkable we have ever tasted. b2b limited

George Howell Coffee · El Injerto Malawi Gesha, Guatemala El Injerto has achieved legendary status for its consistent and exceptional quality, earning more Presidential Cup of Excellence awards than any other farm worldwide.

George Howell Coffee · Finca Deborah Afterglow, Panama Jamison Savage, an expat from the US and owner of Finca Deborah, has grown his farm to great renown. Located in the Chiriqui Province where the prized Gesha variety first came to world attention, Finca Deborah produces natural and washed coffees in a lush surrounding. Most recently, Finca Deborah's coffees placed gold, silver, and bronze in 2023 World Champion Barista competitions.  This lot, Afterglow, is a stellar example of a beautifully refined, naturally-processed coffee. It’s rich and vibrant with discernibly sweet fruit note throughout. So much care and dedication goes into monitoring the seeds as they dry. The result is a heavy-bodied coffee with all the florals native to the Gesha variety. Unlike the washed production method where coffee cherries are pulped, removing the outer fruit from the seed within, natural-processing allows the cherry to remain fully intact from its harvest until it is completely dried. A difficult process, much care and dedication goes into monitoring the seeds as they dry over the course of 20 days on three-tiered, raised drying beds. The coffee is placed in “reposo,” or rests for a minimum of 45-60 days to enhance flavor and shelf life, while multiple cuppings are performed to ensure quality.  Finca Deborah focuses on sustainability at every point. They’re located so high up, deep in the Volcan mountains, traditional electricity is not available. Solar energy is used to power their farm which also helps to sustain the natural landscape and wildlife. In addition, the environment is not exposed to gas powered machines, harsh chemical pesticides or herbicides. Only natural, organic fertilizers are used. As one of the highest coffee farms in Panama, they are shrouded in rainforest cloud coverage much of the year. A benefit to this: diseases and fungus are kept to a minimum due to the temperature. Coffee trees can produce more healthy fruit instead of expending energy to fight disease. In turn, we get to experience the exquisite coffee that the Panamanian Gesha variety provides us.    If you wish to receive a grind other than whole bean, please include the request during the checkout process. b2b wholesale_list

George Howell Coffee · El Progreso, Colombia Adriana Diaz Castillo is a third-generation coffee farmer who, together with her husband, deviated from the family’s traditional path to start farming exotic coffees . Eight year ago, they started on their journey and have since won prestigious awards including Producer of the Year.  Their Gesha stands out with syrupy notes of sweet lemonade, delicate bergamot, and subtle wintergreen.

They use coffee byproducts in foods and grow crops like bananas, citrus, and avocados. Adriana is incredibly connected to the land and hopes to bring visitors to the farm where they can also connect with mythological legends rooted in nature. b2b

George Howell Coffee · Longboard Misty Mountain, Panama As soon as we cupped the 2023 Best of Panama auction samples, Longboard Coffee’s Misty Mountain Washed Gesha caught our attention. We were blown away by the florals. Notes of fresh white peach and citrus blossom danced on our tongues. We had to have it! Jenny dedicated hours to bidding on this lot; auctions like these are incredibly competitive for roasters. Securing exceptional coffee means outbidding others from around the globe. This particular lot ultimately sold for more than twice the price of coffees that ranked higher, a clear sign that other roasters recognized the same remarkable qualities we did. You won’t find a coffee with more floral transparency than this one, it’s what the great gesha variety is famous for. About Longboard Owner, farmer, and avid surfer Justin Boudeman had spent over a decade perfecting his stoke in a cup. In 2023, Justin said “This lot represents pure expression of varietal and terroir, the heart and soul of Misty Mountain and Longboard,” a sentiment that aligns directly with George Howell Coffee’s mission. Sharing inherent flavors of coffee that the growers work so hard to produce is something we’re continuously proud of. Sadly, the coffee world lost Justin in the fall of 2025. We feel incredibly honored to have been a part of his journey in coffee. This is your chance to taste not only a rare coffee, but a coffee that Justin was instrumental in producing, by hand, with unwavering dedication to quality and natural expression of terroir. When we visited Longboard in 2023 we got to experience the uniqueness of the farm firsthand. Not only one of the most unique labs - thatched roof and open air - the farm implements biodynamic practices that sets them apart. With cup quality as the end goal, the coffee is grown under almost full shade with no chemical intervention, not even organic ones. Longboard does not use fertilizer, herbicides, pesticides, or fungicides. They believe this is the only way to bring out the true expression of the coffee. Their soil is healthy with beneficial microorganisms and yeast that later helps their proprietary fermentation techniques. Moon cycles guide their every move from planting and pruning to harvesting and weeding. Everything is done by hand, and although this means the yield is low, the quality is anything but. This Best of Panama winning lot possesses uniquely powerful flavors of peach, pink guava, and lemon blossom. The flavors we cupped have been preserved through freezing raw green coffee, and the coffee continues to shine just as bright, even now. It opens with a burst of juicy tropical fruit and finishes with a long, floral sweetness reminiscent of jasmine and bergamot. A silky mouthfeel and sweet acidity - think white grape and mandarin - give this coffee an elegance and energy that linger long after the last sip. Each order will include a complimentary engraved glass with our logo.  What are auction coffees? Coffees acquired through auction represent the highest caliber in their category, having passed through rigorous competition. These exceptional lots are available exclusively through auction. George was a pioneer of this model during his time with the Cup of Excellence, and today, we continue that legacy by sourcing many of our Limited Roasts through auction platforms. How are coffees chosen for auction? For a coffee to make it to auction, it must first be cupped by professionals from all over the world in order to qualify for one of the top 50 spots. Growers all over the respective country submit their coffee, then through the elimination process, the finalists are chosen and ranked. Once the final coffees are selected, roasters may purchase samples of the coffees that have made it to auction so they know which ones they want to bid on when auction day arrives. How should I brew it? We recommend any high-quality brewer such as a Chemex, Fellow, or Ratio. Our brew guides can be found on our website. Alternatively, we would be happy to schedule a time for you to enjoy your coffee at our cafe, where our professional baristas can brew it for you. Is there much available? Auction coffees are incredibly small in lot size. We only have a handful of bags available. Every bag will be individually roasted to order. b2b wholesale_list

George Howell Coffee · Daterra Sundrop, Brazil The owner of Daterra, Luis Pascoal, is a key coffee visionary in the quality movement who never tires of tweaking everything he does to improve his coffees and social/environmental policies. Daterra was the first farm in the world to package its raw coffees in sealed packages, preserving its coffee’s subtle nuances over the long oceanic journey to our shores. Daterra is always innovating and keeping growing concerns, such as climate change, in mind. From planting 150,000 native trees throughout the farm, to composting 14,000 tons of organic matter, to working on establishing corridors to allow the natural passage of wildlife easily throughout the vast farmland, their attention is fixed on sustainability in the face of climate change. Daterra was the first coffee farm in the world to receive The Rainforest Alliance Certification Level A, their highest designation, in 2018. The farm goes above and beyond every year to achieve sustainability through its practices. Technology and consistent innovations help contribute to its ecosystem, protecting the Cerrado Bioma of Brazil, the second most important hot spot in the world. Natural processing is traditional for regions with a dry climate such as Brazil, and our roasts of Daterra aim to highlight their sweetness and nuanced fruit notes. For Sundrop,  Daterra allowed the cherries to go one step past full maturation while staying on the trees. The coffee was then dried the rest of the way on raised beds until stabilized and ready for hulling. Absorption of starches throughout the drying process yields a full-bodied cup. It’s exceptionally smooth and sweet with butterscotch, blueberry, clove, and a touch of guava.  b2b wholesale_list

George Howell Coffee · Montecarlos, El Salvador Montecarlos is a spectacular farm, covering the entire circumference of a dormant volcano, nestled in a chain of volcanic cones. On one side is the Pacific ocean and on the other the central plateau bringing warm winds up the northern slopes. This is a pure coffee with a light orange accent. Montecarlos Estate is owned and run by Carlos Batres and his wife, Julie. The couple were both educated in the US and have lived in metropolitan areas like D.C. and New York, as well as London, where Batres represented El Salvador at the International Coffee Organization before moving back to El Salvador. The farm has been handed down to family members for five generations, and in the mid-1980s, Batres inherited a slice of the land and has continued to expand it over the years, acquiring more land from neighbors (mostly relatives). He has now accrued at least 40 years working within the coffee industry. Montecarlos became the first estate in the world to grow and develop the Pacamara variety of coffee. Batres purchased most of the material El Salvador’s National Coffee Laboratory had been working on to cross the Pacas and Maragogype varieties. Between the years of 1987-1990 it was planted and developed at Montecarlos Estate, with the first commercial crop harvested between the years 1992 and 1993. Other varieties that each make up roughly 25% of the land are Catuaí, Caturra, and Bourbon (which we purchase annually). Pacamara grew popular after being acquired by Starbucks in 2004 and labeled as Montecarlos “Black Apron Exclusive,” and in the same year, was highlighted at the El Salvador Cup of Excellence for its quality. Batres is rightfully proud of being a major player in pioneering Pacamara coffee, and it continues to be a prominent part of the farm’s offerings. He continues to share it with other coffee farmers in El Salvador. El Salvador has a clear-cut dry season followed by a rainy one (May through October), ideal for evenly ripening coffee, which at the higher elevations occurs in February. Coffee is only harvested each season when perfectly ripe, which means that it may take several passes before the cherries are plucked to ensure the best flavor in the resulting cup. Once harvested, the cherries are milled and washed three times from the natural mineral water springing from the farm. The Montecarlos Mill has been in use for five generations, featuring the original architecture that has been in the family since the 1870s. Coffee is 100% sun-dried on clay patios which allow the beans to dry in fifteen days—keeping temperatures cool in the daytime and retaining warmth at night. The channel system of the Mill is also unique in that it uses gravity to carry the beans upon being washed to any of its 60 drying patios. Beyond coffee, The Montecarlos Estate does much to help its society. The farm employs 250 full-time employees and an additional 250 part-time, paying above minimum wage. The farm also supports a school, church, and the use of roads that make transportation easier between towns. The focus of Montecarlos is not single-minded in producing coffee, but also pays close attention to the community at large. We take pride in roasting our Montecarlos coffee. It's approachable coffee that becomes an instant crowd-pleaser. b2b wholesale_list

George Howell Coffee · San Martin Small Farmer Lots, Guatemala The Asorguate Farmer’s Association was started in 2014 by 100 coffee producers. They produce some of the highest quality and easy-drinking regional coffees. Their farms average 7.5 acres in size. Ripe coffee cherries are brought to a local wet mill, El Retiro, to be processed. The coffee cherries are stripped of their outer fruit, then go on to be fully washed and dried on raised beds. Once at the dry mill, Beneficio Seco Las Cruces, a quality inspection is performed and beans are sorted, eliminating undesirable sizes. They go on to be separated by density (twice), before moving on to be color sorted, bagged, and cupped for quality before their voyage to the US. The resulting cup of San Martin boasts flavors of semi-dark chocolate, molasses, and tangerine. b2b wholesale_list

Today, this iconic variety has found a new home in southern Honduras at Finca El Puente, where husband-and-wife team Marysabel Caballero and Moisés Herrera cultivate it with the same dedication and precision that make their farm world-renowned.

Counter Culture Coffee · Finca La Hermosa Gesha – Dual Process Born and raised among coffee plantations, Max Pérez was acutely aware of both the risks and potential within the coffee industry. Driven by a desire to “make the coffee dreams come true,” he and his wife, Claudia, founded Finca La Hermosa in 2010. Situated on the slopes of the Acatenango volcano, the coffee farm benefits from fertile volcanic soils that nurture a diverse range of coffee varieties, including an entire “Gesha forest.” This coffee combines two distinct processing techniques - honey and natural sundried. The honey process incorporates anaerobic fermentation while leaving the sticky mucilage on the coffee seed for 2 days before being dried. Through the natural process, coffee cherries are dried with their fruit intact for 30 days on raised beds. Roasting these two coffees together results in the distinguished characteristics of blueberry, honeysuckle and limeade, a beautiful reflection of both processes and variety.
