Tres Santos

Good coffee from Intelligentsia.
They can get away with playing the Smiths albums.

And Tres Santos is grown by a few Colombian Co-ops.
Each August our Intelligentsia World Exclusive Tres Santos is rebuilt from scratch. There are seven small-scale cooperatives that contribute coffees, and every season we spend weeks cupping and evaluating individual batches of coffee from single farmers, looking for those that really have the glow. Occasionally during the selection process there appears a coffee that quite simply belongs in a league of its own…a coffee so inspiring and with such immaculate taste that allowing it to be blended with anything would be some sort of cosmic sin. Thus is born the micro-lot… as close to perfect as it gets.
