The willow oaks of Gunston Hall frame the legacy of George Mason, a thoughtful revolutionary who helped inspire the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. The subtle, clean profile of this coffee perfectly complements that Fairfax County estate, and contains a tucked-away brightness reminiscent of Mason’s shining contributions to American liberty.
Colombia Excelso
Colombia Excelso comes from small family-owned farms in the Colombian “coffee triangle.” The main harvest is between October and January, and the “mitaca” harvest is between April and June. Small coffee producers pick and process their coffee at their own micro-wet mills and then dry their own coffee, typically on elevated tables inside solar dryers that provide protection from the rain.
