Mierisch Family
創業当初から毎年取引のある農園です。フィンカスミエリッヒは、品種の研究に熱心であることでも有名です。彼らは複数の農園を所有しており、各農園に合う品種を選定することに長けています。実際、多様な品種、そして多くの農園でカップオブエクセレンスなどの品評会で上位に入賞してきました。ホンジュラスCOEを2019、2021と連続優勝したサンタルシアゲイシャなど、多くの素晴らしいコーヒーを供給してもらっています。
We cherish our enduring partnership with Fincas Mierisch, a renowned coffee farm from Nicaragua that has been with us since the beginning. Fincas Mierisch is celebrated for their dedication to cultivating high-quality coffee beans as well as their passion for exploring diverse coffee cultivars. They have consistently excelled in competitions, earning recognition for their exceptional varieties. We are immensely proud to showcase their remarkable coffees.
Pepe Jijon
コロンビアにほど近い、インバブラ県を拠点とする生産者です。職人気質で熱心な生産者として、2021年ごろより世界的に人気があり、他の多くのコーヒー生産者からも慕われています。2022年より交流が始まり、品種や土地の個性を尊重する考えが一致したことがきっかけとなり、2023年より正式な取扱がはじまりました。彼の希少なコーヒーを提供できることを光栄に思っています。品種の特徴を強調するようなプロセスで知られています。
Pepe Jijon, an acclaimed artisanal coffee producer from Ecuador, draws profound inspiration from the distinctive terroir of Imbabura. Since our partnership began in 2022 and officially launched in early 2023, Pepe Jijon has been our inaugural direct trade coffee collaborator. Some of the specialty coffee world's favorites, his coffees exemplify his legendary commitment and expertise, each cultivar a testament to his unwavering passion for excellence in coffee craftsmanship.
Jose Luis Eguiguren
2024年、ペペヒホンさんの紹介で取引が始まった、品種の特徴を最大限に表現する生産者。バリスタチャンピオンなど、多くの競技者とのコラボと特殊プロセスで有名な生産者ですが、私たちは特に彼の伝統的な生産処理のコーヒーに感銘を受けました。
One of our newest partners, Jose Luis of Hacienda Santa Gertrudis. Jose Luis consistently delivers high-quality coffee, focusing on authentic washed and honey process varieties. While he is recognized for his experimental coffees in collaboration with champion baristas, his commitment to these traditional methods stands out. His coffees expertly highlight the unique characteristics of each cultivar, making them a valuable addition to our offerings.
Jose Luiz Chevas
才能と情熱にあふれる若き生産者。ホセルイスとの交流は、共通の知人であるSCAのコーヒー専門家の勧めで、2023年の周年コーヒーとして取り扱ったことで始まりました。彼の素晴らしいコーヒーはどのホットも少量生産で、全てがコンペティションロットと言えます。また、コーヒーカクテルの世界大会など、数多くの大会で使用されています。
A promising young talent and passionate producer from Boquete, Panama, Jose's work came to our attention through a mutual friend, and we began our collaboration with him in 2023 during our anniversary event. Despite the Chevas Estate being relatively new, Jose's coffees already beautifully capture the soft, round, and vibrant terroir of Boquete. In recent times, sourcing classic Boquete Geishas has become challenging, which makes Jose's ability to produce both traditional and innovatively modern coffees at such a high caliber a fortunate opportunity for us.
Edgar Gutierrez
エドガーのコーヒーを共通の友人の勧めで購入したことがきっかけで、2021年より取引が始まりました。品種やプロセス関する知見が深く、ゲイシャ、パカマラにとどまらず、多くの希少品種を高品質に仕上げています。
Edgar Gutierrez, both a processor and dedicated producer in Cordillera, Panama, is at the helm of Corpachi farm and oversees processing at Ponderosa farm. Introduced through a mutual connection, our initial sampling of his coffee in early 2021 left us captivated, and so upon recognizing his exceptional abilities, we forged a partnership in 2022. Edgar's renown stems from his exacting processing techniques and profound passion for coffee and cultivars, evident in the diverse array thriving on his farm and the consistently exceptional coffee he delivers.
Pablo Andres Guerrero
私たちのコロンビア初のパートナーは、2021年COE優勝でも知られるエルオブラヘ農園です。彼のコーヒーは2200-2300メートルという驚異的に高い標高を生かした、力強い味わいのコーヒーが特徴です。どの品種も圧倒的な強度があり、まさにパワーが違いすぎる農園。
Our inaugural direct trade partnership in Colombia commenced with Pablo Andres Guerrero of Hacienda El Obraje. Located at an impressive altitude of 2200-2300 meters above sea level, Pablo’s farm garnered attention by clinching the top spot in the 2021 Cup of Excellence. Cultivating coffee at such elevations presents significant challenges, but these high-altitude beans are renowned for their unparalleled intensity in every cup. Hacienda El Obraje consistently produces exceptional washed coffees of outstanding quality.
Oscar and Luis Monge
モンゲ兄弟(ラリアマイクロミル)との取引は2018年より始まりました。彼らは品種はもちろん、土壌や微生物などのコーヒーを取り巻く環境と生物に精通しており、数多くの品種の栽培はもちろん、新たな農地の開墾にも精力的に取り組んでいます。特にイエローティピカ品種を、2021年より毎年Apollon’s Gold専用に生産してもらっています。
Since 2018, our journey with Oscar and Luis has been a thrilling exploration. These brothers are true masters of soil, microbes, and microclimates—elements that wield profound influence over the coffee they cultivate. From the start, heir adventurous spirit in uncovering new plots throughout Costa Rica has resonated deeply with our own.
We extend heartfelt gratitude to Oscar and Luis for sharing with us an exclusive lot from Pie San, a coffee that stands as one of our cherished favorites.
Alietta Family
先進的な栽培手法に定評のあるアリエッタファミリー。研究所との提携により、それぞれの土地に適合した品種と、その特徴を活かすプロセスで、彼らの土地の特徴を表現ています。2021年より、ETH47を毎年全量買い付けています。
Nestled in Costa Rica's West Valley, the Alietta family farm stands as a beacon of ambition and progress in coffee production. Collaborating closely with local institutes, they uphold rigorous standards to ensure quality and pioneer advancements in agriculture and science. Apollo's Gold proudly partners with them, exclusively offering their ETH47 cultivar since 2021, with optimism for the future of our collaborative efforts.
Eliyas Dukamo
A proud member of Ethiopia's esteemed Dukamo family, known for their coffee excellence, Eliyas previously worked alongside his brothers at Daye Bensa coffee. He then ventured out to establish his own export brand.
Despite being relatively new, Elto Coffee has quickly gained recognition for its exceptional quality. Rooted in the pristine terroir of the Bensa region, Eliyas’ coffee proudly showcases the unique character of the native cultivar, 74158, with each batch exemplifying his commitment to quality and celebrating the rich heritage of Ethiopian coffee.
