El Rincon is a perfect example of the "gestalt effect" that occurs when multiple lots of coffee from the same community of producers are carefully selected and presented together as a regional blend. In 2017, then-Collaborative Coffee Source buyer David Stallings and San Vicente exporter Benjamin Paz created a regional blend from small farms whose coffees were really good but didn't quite qualify as a micro-lot. The idea was to financially support producers until they can earn highest premiums - or yield enough coffee per estate to sell alone - at which point their coffees have graduated from the blend and a new farmer can join it. This is a long-term regional strategy for growth and sustainability that Small Planes is thrilled to support again in its eighth year.
El Rincon’s components were selected to be sweet, clean, and a little rich. Once again, this lot brings those same dense fudge vibes. It's a nostalgic flavor, like fudge you'd have as a treat in a summer town. Notes of blackberry add a pop of tempered acidity to the cup. El Rincon is delicious as espresso and pairs wonderfully with milk.
