    This coffee comes from a farm called El Oasis which is one of four farms in the surrounding area run by Carlos Arrieta and his family. The other three are La Casa, El Manantial, and La Isla.

    The classic combo of milk chocolate and honeycomb fills your cup with sweetness, a gentle hint of apricot rounding it out for a well balanced coffee which will keep you coming back for another sip.
