The 787 Coffee Supremo Roast is our signature
single-origin specialty coffee — grown at
Hacienda Iluminada, our family-owned farm in
Maricao, Puerto Rico, at 3,000 feet above sea
level in the island's central mountain range.
Handpicked at peak ripeness. Honey processed
on the farm. Roasted fresh in small batches.
Shipped directly to your door.
TASTING NOTES:
Buttery caramel — from the honey processing
method that leaves natural sweetness in every
bean. Dark chocolate — from the high-altitude
growing conditions that slow the cherry's
development and concentrate flavor. Bright
citrus finish — clean, clear, and completely
unforgettable.
THE HONEY PROCESS DIFFERENCE:
Most coffee is washed. Some is natural
processed. 787 Coffee's Supremo Roast is
honey processed — a labor-intensive method
where the outer skin of the cherry is removed
but the sweet mucilage layer is left on the
bean as it sun-dries at Hacienda Iluminada.
The sugars absorb into the bean. The sweetness
becomes part of the coffee itself. You taste
it in every cup.
