About José Bernabé Martinez of Guatemala
Finca El Limonar, Lemon Grove Farm, nestles high in the mountains where healthy clay soils provide plentiful micronutrients and organic materials lend their own intrinsic terroir to coffees that grow there. El Limonar is the much-loved land of José Bernabé Martínez, which he acquired in 1980. For the past 38 years, he’s planted, cultivated, harvested, and processed his coffees, and his care and dedication to quality has paid off in the stellar offerings he puts on cupping tables.
José has 3 full-time employees as well as seasonal help. He also grows avocados, bananas, oranges, and of course, lemons, hence the name El Limonar. Everything José does reflects his vision for ever-increasing quality, and this washed coffee clearly reflects that care and pride.

Drink Coffee Do Stuff
DRINK COFFEE DO STUFF is a specialty coffee roastery in Truckee, CA, conceived at 12,000 ft on the Saas-Fee glacier of the Swiss Alps. The vision for DCDS is rooted in the professional snowboarding career of founder Nick Visconti, who traveled the world crushing the snowboarding circuit and drinking coffee from Switzerland to Patagonia. This roving lifestyle birthed an intentional roasting company centered on the intersection of extraordinary coffee and extraordinary life.
Founded in 2017 in Visconti's hometown of Truckee, DCDS is distinguished by its focus on 'altitude coffee'—coffee grown on hill and mountain slopes throughout the equatorial zone and roasted at 6000 feet in the Sierra Nevada mountains—which results in a sweeter, more subtle cup. Relationships matter too at DCDS, not just because Visconti marks his friendships in coffee cups and boards, but because they are the foundation of a life lived well.
We all have the ability to live our own versions of an extraordinary life, and 2019 Good Food Award-winner DCDS celebrates this truth. As Visconti says, "We wear our hats backwards, live our lives forwards, and ride our boards downwards!"
