Café de Palo is specialty coffee from Central America
We go around Central America seeking the finest coffees produced in the region. Central America is our home, so we are not afraid to go deep in the forests or high on the mountains to visit our friends and family and taste their coffees. Our coffees do not come from huge deforested fields of commercial grade coffees. Our coffees our produced in small fincas with great care and artistry by our family and friends.
