Co-Op, Grower Certified Organic, Rain Forest Alliance
Received 3/01/2009

Santa Adelaida (pronounced ad-a-LAY-da) co-op began in 1980, high on the Bálsamo mountain range, 30 kilometres south of San Salvador, collectively owns about 860 hectares of land, and grows coffee on 650 of them. Their organic coffee is grown without chemical inputs of any kind, and is monitored strictly by independent specialist organizations that certify, every year, that the coffee beans are in compliance with the standards required by organic produce markets.

Santa Adelaida cooperative is dedicated to protecting the environment by producing coffee without agrochemicals, while increasing income and consolidating social programs for its members, who have historically been marginalized, have little education and are stunted by poverty. It's a perfect undertaking, an ideal match with their cooperative vision. Today the co-op maintains three schools, a medical facility and housing for their 250 members' families.

The co-op members of St. Adelaida grow their Bourbon variety coffee organically under a dense forest of shade trees, consistently producing one of the best organic coffees in all of The Americas. This balanced coffee offers smooth body and pleasing brightness with undertones of sweet juicy raisins and dark chocolate, caramel, and fruity overtones. Santa Adelaida's aromatic coffee is "highly sought after" internationally, not only because it is organic, but also because of its excellent quality.

TERRIFIC flavor June 17, 2009
Reviewer: Seth C. Burgess from Wayne County, NY United States  
My recommendation: try Pipil El Espino coffee alongside dark chocolate from your local Candy Counter. Heavenly.

Very diverse and unique November 20, 2008
Reviewer: Chuck S from Sierra Vista, AZ United States  
This is a very good coffee. Not as sweet as some pulped coffees I've tried, but still the fruity overtones are present. Complex but balanced. The only complaint I have is in the roast induced flavors. Definatley smokey, as tends to be true of Seths roasts, but this one stops just a half step short of a burnt taste. It adds great depth to the undertones, but imparts a bit of harshness to the backfinish. Other than that, exceptional.

El Salvador Cerro Las Ranas Pulp Natural September 18, 2008
Reviewer: Terrian Mitchell from Yuma, AZ United States  
WOWEE! This is what coffee should taste like! After my first cup I called some Old Bisbee Roasters fans in California and they had already had someone else share it with them. It is like drinking smoky fruity hot chocolate, but not anything sissy. (I still haven't tried the OBR chocolate covered fruit!).  Try this to start out the day and resolve to make the rest of the day just as special.

UNDER THE RADAR-OFF THE CHARTS July 22, 2008
Reviewer: LARS from LAS VEGAS, NV United States  
I HAD THIS WHEN IT FIRST CAME INTO SETH'S POSSESSION-IT WAS AMAZING. EVERYBODY WANTED SOME OF MY BEANS, AND THE SWEET TASTE WAS  TRUELY  SOMETHING DIFFERENT. I THINK THIS DESERVES MORE APPRECIATION AND EXPOSURE.

Santa Isabel is very clean and smooth.  It also has a very pleasant after taste.
