Welcome to Barefoot Coffee Roasters
<ss:value source="$page.title"/> Barefoot Coffee was born in the Fall of 2003 from a simple idea. Why not treat coffee the same as any other quality kitchen ingredient: farm fresh, wildly intense flavors, and full of culinary potential? Realizing that each bean is affected by soil, varietal, processing, farm, elevation, micro-climate and every hand that crafts it, we are determined to let the coffee speak for itself. At Barefoot, coffee is our life and our passion, and we are totally so-lost-in-love with it. We travel to origin to find the most conscientious coffee producers and hand select the coffees that take our breath away with joy. Most of our harvests are purchased from farmers we know personally, and the utmost care taken to leave as little of our mark on their hard work as possible. You can taste the hand of the farmer who grew it and the dirt it was grown in. Barefoot pays more for better quality, sustainably grown coffee and works hard to put more money in the hands of the farmers. We describe our flavors in the literal and fantastical; dark chocolate, guava, maple syrup, mouth-gasm and screaming metal guitar come to mind, because our coffees contain these flavors and sensations intrinsically. Great coffee refuses to be labeled: dark or light; "bold" or "strong"; anonymous or "gourmet".
It should just taste delicious. And that's what we do.

Malacara B lot 91- 12oz Malacara B, Tablon 2, Day lot 91.
This was a very exciting coffee for me (Christian)to roast as, while in El Salvador, had the honor and opportunity to wonder through the trees this lovely coffee was grown on. Tablon 2, a beautiful and Magical place with a distinct micro climate not found anywhere else on the farm. Located in a tiny valley, or more of a dip, on the south eastern most edge of the finca. In the early mourning the fog collects in this valley giving the cherries just the slightest bit more of a struggle for them to develop such precise and unique cup qualities.
Cupping notes:
Aromas of wet coffee blossoms (strangely reminiscent of Tablon 2 itself) dried pineapple and raisins. Bright clean acidity with hints of black currant. Malty body with a maple syrup sweetness. Well balanced but to an extreme.
