Timoteo Minas

Varietal: Bourbon, Catuai, Caturra, and Maragogype

Notes of red apple, tart cherry, hibiscus, and brown sugar with a touch of cinnamon.

Timoteo Minas has been growing coffee for the past 28 years. He cultivates his coffee with intense care on the slopes of Volcán de Agua. Nearby is an active volcano, Volcán Fuego, and the sulfur emitted through its eruptions provides beneficial nutrients for the soil—great for coffee growing. Every action Timo takes on his land is deliberate—from the spacing between his trees to how he processes it. He is constantly innovating and searching for better production and processing methods.

Most of the cooperative members blend their coffees to sell under the San Miguel Escobar Cooperative name. A few years ago, we asked Timoteo to separate his lot for us to purchase separately - because it was that good, and we’ve seen it get better, year over year.
