This coffee comes from: our good friend Diego. Deep within the rainforest canopy in the mountains of Matagalpa, Nicaragua, Café Diego is a direct trade organic coffee grown at high altitudes above 5500 feet. Diego Chavarria is the owner of the family-owned coffee farm that has been passed down for many generations. This is a micro-lot specialty grade organic coffee grown in the Matagalpa Highlands on a 300-hectare farm producing 160,000 pounds of green coffee every year. The coffee is wet-processed on the farm.

Diego is a coffee producer in a rural part of Nicaragua. He comes from a family with a long history of coffee farming.  Diego’s family farm was created by his great great grandfather and has been passed down through the generations. During the time of this Coffee Crisis in the early 2000's Diego lost his farm because of the debt created by the decreasing earnings year to year. After nearly a decade of struggle, he was able to buy back his farm, and for the past 5 years has been nurturing his plants back to production, growing new varietals, and increasing the quality of his yields.

Because of your support we are able to roast Diego’s coffee and impact the village of Matagalpa in various ways. Diego employs over 300 workers during the harvest season, supports 40 churches (and growing) around the mountains of Matagalpa, and is heavily involved in community building activities. By purchasing a bag of Nicaragua Café Diego, you are investing in his mission and the youth in Matagalpa. You are providing vital life experiences and opportunities for a better future.

Brazil - Primavera

Fazenda Primavera is located in the municipality of Angelândia, Minas Gerais, a region at the transition between biomes, with land and vegetation characteristic of both the Atlantic forest and the Cerrado. The farm’s elevations, between 1000 to 1050 meters above sea level, promote the cultivation of specialty coffee and the climate also provides favorable conditions with average temperatures between 20 and 24 °C annually and precipitation of 1,000 to 1,300 mm.

Following his father’s footsteps, producer Ricardo Tavares has dedicated his life to the coffee industry. Ricardo’s father began in the roasted coffee industry, delivering products to meet the demands of Brazil’s domestic coffee consumption. Ricardo began his own story in the world of coffee business at age 19, when he accompanied his father on a trip to northern Brazil. After returning from the rolling hills of coffee trees, Ricardo decided not to continue his career as an economist and, instead, dedicated himself entirely to the purchase and sale of coffee beans in the interior of Minas Gerais.

It was always Ricardo’s dream to own and operate coffee farms, and, years after beginning work in coffee, he acquired Fazenda Primavera, which is the ultimate fulfillment of that goal. The 980 hectares planted with coffee are not just a farm but a property he and his team have built into a regional exemplar of the possibility of specialty coffee production in Brazil, transforming it from its origins in traditional coffee production by Portuguese families who arrived in the late 70’s, when coffee production in the region began.

Ethiopia - Two Brothers (Organic)

This coffee came from: Two brothers – Mustefa and Musa Abalulessa. Several years ago Mustefa and his brother Musa began producing specialty coffee. The story of how Mustefa came to this land is incredibly interesting. Before much of the undergrowth was cleared to farm coffee (dense tree coverage remains for shade growing), this jungle parcel at almost 7,000 ft elevation was a hideout for Mustefa’s father, Abalulessa, a guerrilla fighting against The Derg - the oppressive military government of the time. Having failed to capture him and lost soldiers trying, the government turned to the local community with a bounty. His health deteriorating and near death, Abalulessa turned to an old friend and, as thanks for nursing him through his final months, told him to tell the government he had killed him, and thus benefit from the bounty. Abalulessa died in 1977, when Mustefa was two, and as part of an amnesty and reconciliation program, the government gave the land of the current farm to Mustefa’s family, which he now farms along with another plot 7km away with Musa.

Founded in 1989 in a small wood cabin, Winfield and Joy started roasting in 5lb batches and were the first roasters to the Central Oregon area. The business quickly grew and they bought a larger roaster within 6 months. For the first 20 years, our business was predominantly wholesale, since the retail space in the cabin was only 250 square feet. 

Today, we are roasting over 300,000 pounds a year out of our 6,000 square foot flagship cafe and roastery in Sisters. In 2011, we opened our Pearl District cafe in Portland. The business is run by Winfield and Joy’s kids: Justin, Jared, and Jesse. 

Our mission is to create an authentic coffee experience built on a deep love for our craft and heartfelt kindness for the people we serve. 



Sisters Coffee Company

Neal Marks

Founded in 1989 in a small wood cabin at the foot of the Oregon Cascades, Sisters Coffee cherishes our love for coffee and the beautiful place we call home. Our mission is to create an authentic coffee experience built on a deep love for our craft and heartfelt kindness for the people we serve. 

It was our Sicilian grandmother, with the help of a moka pot and Italian espresso, who introduced us to the fine art of coffee. She instilled in us a deep sense of “coffee as a tasteful part of daily life.” It was always the pinnacle moment of every social occasion. It was treated with care and selected purposefully to be an ideal complement.

Years later, the growth of the local roasting movement awakened our fond memories of handcrafted coffee. We were inspired to pair our love of coffee with our long-standing passion for producing fine foods. It had always been our belief that coffee played as an important a role in the dining experience as it does in supporting the social conventions of our world.

Since our inception in 2005, we've endeavored to source the highest quality coffee and to perfect a roast that reveals the essence of every bean, in every cup. It's never been automated or factory-like. It is and will always be a craftsman's venture. We call the process "Arte Della Tazza" {Art from the Cup}.

Our wish to you...sip, savor, and enjoy a good life.

Great coffee is motivational. Inspirational. Timeless moments are often shared over a cup. So we take our coffee seriously. Selecting, roasting and brewing it right, is an art. Parisi Artisan Coffee is our proud, passionate homage to our Italian heritage. It's also our way to share our delicious traditions with you, so you can start your own.

We believe that no amount of roasting expertize or beverage mixology can take the place of the kind of green coffee that’s the result of intentionality at the farm level. Coffees that are grown and harvested to maintain quality and consistency from cherry ripeness to density then processed to continue that quality create a coffee that is clean, flavorful and interesting from cup to cup. Our commitment to seeking out quality green coffee ranges from trips to origin were Jon, part owner, and green buyer, cups hundreds of coffees in search of the one or two that fits what we are looking for. We roast and cup dozens of coffee samples a week - narrowing them down to coffees that taste great as an espresso, pallets of lots designed to make up our Southern Weather house blend, and single bags of coffee we vac-pac and sell in small releases.
