Black & White Coffee Roasters
Raleigh, NC, USA
Rodrigo Sanchez Valencia is a third-generation coffee farmer, but his father and grandfather before him had never considered the coffee they were growing in terms of its cup profile. That is to say, they didn't really know that their farming and processing techniques could have a huge impact on the flavor and quality of the coffees they were producing. In 2002, Rodrigo participated in a local program that sought to communicate cupping, coffee competitions, and lot-scoring to children of coffee producers. With this newfound understanding and a profound desire to produce high-quality coffee consistently, Rodrigo and his family set off on a mission to re-imagine the work they'd been doing at Finca Monteblanco, the first of Rodrigo's farms. Today, the coffees coming from that farm and his others - including these two co-fermented lots from El Eden - are a testament to their rigorous persistence in that endeavor.
