Speaking of connections, Italo thinks there may be a connection between impressive transaction sizes and an affinity for the French press. Al prefers bold coffee that hits you right in the mouth. Will this community lot from Good Citizen pack enough of a punch?

San Agustin is a community lot, meaning many farmers in the area shared their coffee to create what you’re drinking today. Huila is home to some astounding coffees. At least a dozen farmers that contribute to San Agustin have won Cup of Excellence awards in the past. This cup tastes like cranberry, green apple, and orange with a molasses-like sweetness and a syrupy body.

Score: We scored it a solid 8. Very good coffee, for sure!
